There is something called \flat. I took out the references to LilyJAZZ
just to demonstrate, it should work regardless of font and I didn't have
the .ily file handy.
Forgive me for suggesting, but I suggest it improves mental health to think
of transpose in the form:
\transpose "to" "from" \musicExpression
So, Bb and Eb parts would be:
\transpose bes, c \trumpetPartConcert
\transpose es, c \altoPartConcert
instead of the cryptic:
\transpose c d' \trumpetPartConcert
\transpose c a' \altoPartConcert
Also, I took out references to \jazzOn since it didn't compile.

Sure, I hope this helps.
