Re: [Fwd: Re: confused about transposing]

Thanks for the tips guys, that helps alot. Got the piece transposed 
fine. FWIW, I am transcibing a piece, used my tenor sax to write the 
tenor parts, put that into lily, now transposed and printed the 'bone 
parts, which are nearly a double of the t-sax parts, only a few minor 
changes. I don't play the bone so I transcribe either on my sax or on a 
guitar, whichever is easier for the song. (The music I am transcibing is 
various Latino music - salsa, merengue, cumbia, ranchera, etc.)
Regards,
Chip
