In the ABC music notation, there is support for transposing instruments. For e.g. a Bb clarinet, for which the music is written in the key of C, although the instrument plays it in the key of Bb, you would give the following part definition:
[V:Clarinet] [K:C transpose=-2] The number after the transpose specifier is the number of semitones that the part in question should be transposed in the MIDI output. The generation of the printable sheet music is not affected by the transpose specifier. The best ABC typesetter available is called abcm2ps and can be dowloaded from http://abcplus.sf.net Would you need other facilities for typesetting transposing instruments?
