Thanks. So I can't do what I want :-(
I know someone said there was a macro in jEdit or emacs or something
that would transpose parts, but what I was hoping I could do was
enter the part straight from treble clef, and tell lilypond that it
was written in Bb. Looking at the example for the horn certainly
makes it look like that is possible ...
I've been entering pieces in concert C and they are are printed in the
correct instrument key with this in the code -
\score {
\notes
\transpose f d
\relative c'''
{
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\override Staff.MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
\time 4/4
\clef treble
\key f \major
other...stuff
}
And that transposed a flute part to an Eflat Alto Sax part. The Flute
part was in concert F, so when the Alto is played the pitch of the
notes is the same as it would be for a concert C instrument.
Hope that helps a bit.
