I'll attempt to clarify again: \transposition is something that allows midi to know how the music has been transposed so that when you listen to a midi file, you hear what you wrote, not what the transposed notes look like. \transpose actually transposes the notes in the music. so, if you want

the example at the end of my post assumes that the notes you entered are at sounding pitch. you would just do everything in the opposite manner if you enter a Bb part and want to see a C part printed. josiah ___ lilypond-user mailing list

Using 2.4.2, I'd like to be able to transpose a part, create a midi file, and create the graphical output. The midi output is transposed right along with the score if everything is in the same score block. Is it possible to have an untransposed midi with transposed parts without having to play
