Hi Paul, In fact I don't normally use a \global key change just \global timing and dynamics. Hmmm... unfortunately, that makes for (slightly) more work and (slightly) less-maintainable code. However, it does give me an idea: perhaps one could use \tag in the \global section to control

Hi Paul, I always do this manually even if I put the concert key in a global block. I'm not sure what you mean here... what do you always do manually? of course the different players ofter make switches at different places which I agree would make ugly code. Yup. =\ (Thanks for

Hi Paul, Change the key in the music when the player changes to an instrument in another key. But when this happens at the same time as the \global key change, don't you get an error? Thanks, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list

Is there an obvious way to handle this -- using a combination of \transposition and \transpose -- which would allow me to: 1. have a single \global variable; 2. enter each player's music, in concert pitch, in a single variable; and, 3. output a C score and a transposed score
