Re: transpose help - piano staves

[Avram Aelony]

Thank you, by adding curly brackets it is getting closer in that I  
now see piano-staves, but they come out staggered rather than linear!!
How can I get the staves now in a linear fashion?

   \new staff = "rh" {

                \transpose c d \rh
                \transpose c e \rh
        }       

   \new staff = "lh" {
                \lh
                \transpose c d \lh
                \transpose c e \lh

Thank you,
