When I think I'll be printing up different transpositions like this I
try to prepare for it when I input the notes. For example:
music = \relative c' {
c d e f g a b c
}
\score {
% \transpose c c { % use this line for treble clef Bb
\transpose c bes,, { % use this line for bass clef C
% \clef G % use this line for treble clef Bb
\clef F % use this line for bass clef C
\music
}
}
First I defined the music. Then I set up a couple of switches so I can
easily change between transpositions.
Hope this helps.
