RE: Transpose

[John McWilliam]

The reason for the adjusted first Group (a4~ a16 e, g a) is due to the fact that the lowest note on a Bb clarinet is e. Thereafter, the broken chords follow the set pattern until reaching the last group. I have extended my snippet to illustrate what I mean.

You will see in my example that modalTranspose gives a strange interpretation of A minor and I wonder whether there is a solution to this?

 

Shouldn't your manual one be:

 

Aminor = \relative c' {

  \key a \minor

  a4~ a16 c, e a c e, a c e a, c e

}

 

which matches the modal transposition.

 

Cheers,
