Hello,

This seems to be a very basic question but I can't work out how to do it.

Take a piece of music; for example:

{ a b c d | a b c d  }

Then shift it down half a tone without altering the key signature.

Ah yes, but the key signature changes see?

I don't want that.

:)

Anyway, I think I have some ideas from the helpful suggestions so far.

OK, but you can also do something like this:


\score {
  \relative c' {
    \key bes \major
    bes c d \transpose c cis' { es f } g a bes
  }
}
