Oops ... my bad here ... I've just seen the sentence about MIDI output and how it doesn't affect printing. But I would still respectfully suggest that it *should* affect printing, it seems to me we have here a generic solution being applied over-narrowly to a specific problem. Let's say I

I don't really understand what you mean by input and output sections. You can do any any of the following: music={c d e f} \score{ \transpose c bes \music } music=\transpose c bes {c d e f} \score{ \music } \score{ \transpose c bes {c d e f} } as well as \music={\transposition bes c d e f}

In regards to the Horn and other instruments for which transpositions can change during the course of a piece, I should mention that the Lilypond way is much easier to deal with than, for instance, the Finale way (at least up until Finale 2001, the last version that I used regularly). Granted,

Damn webmail ... I've got it! The result is a bit of a mess but it seems to work. I store all my notes in a voiceXxx.ly file, so my voiceTromnbone file now contains a \transpose c' bf if the part's in Bb. And all my formatting and score stuff is in a partXxx.ly file, so if I'm outputting a Bb

Something seems wrong here ... I'm trying to enter a part for Trombone in treble clef (ie in B flat). Reading the manual, section 5.15.6 says transpose and relative don't work well together, but this doesn't make sense! transpose converts the pitch of music as it is *output*, while relative

Try specifying transposition before relative. The following (not quite minimal) example works for me: TptOne = \relative c''{ \key c \major % Needed here, or the part in Bb gets no key signature. % notes . } \context Staff { % \transpose must be outside \relative % -

My apologies; I replied in haste. The original question was about \transposition and my reply was about \transpose. (The difference being that my notes are entered at concert (sounding) pitch, and \transpose is then used to produce a transposing part.) Wol's follow-up at 10:18 GMT introduces a

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
