That, and you should add
   \transposition displayPitchOfYourNote
to the beginning of your original score in some strange display pitch. This 
tells lilypond the actual concert pitch of that part, so that quoting the 
instrument in other voices displays the correct pitches there, too, and the 
MIDI output uses the correct sounding pitch.
