... I really don't understand this question.  If you already know
how to transpose from C to Bb, why on earth do you need to ask how
to transpose from C to G ?!
- Graham

Becuase when I do that it changes the key signature. I want the key signature to remain the same. I input in Concert C, transpose to the key of D for Trumpet. The First Trumpet part transposes to the key of D just fine. I would like to just copy/paste the first part into the second part. The second part I want to transpose also for Trumpet, also in the key of D, but a fourth lower. I was just hoping to be able to have Lily do that so I don't have to rewrite all the notes a fourth lower. If that's how it has to be done then so be it.

good question, I'm gonna say diatonic and see how that goes.

Can Lily do this or do I have to figure out all the notes a fourth lower and enter them manually? I'd rather just copy/paste the first part into the second part and let Lily do the transposing of a fourth interval.

Are you looking for a perfect fourth through the whole piece, or is
the fourth to be diatonic to the key? For example, if your melody is
in c and goes {a b c} do you want to get {e f g} (diatonic) or {e fis
g} (perfect)?
