Nested transposition

I am trying to engrave a transposed song. It's written without key signature but is very tonal. It starts in C and ends in C#. I want to transpose it down a minor third. The part in C is fine, but the part in C# ends up as A## and there are far too many double-sharps for it to be performable.

I found the 'minimal accidental' snippet but that looks as if it messes up the tonality - a mixture of A sharp and B flat.

I tried the code below, which get the note names right but the octaves go completely wrong. Is this a bug? It would be a useful feature if it could be corrected.

\version "2.22.0"

\language "english"

{
  \transpose c a,
  \relative {
    c'4 d e f g a b c
    \transpose as bf
    {cs, ds es fs gs as bs cs}
   
  }  
}

 
Regards,

Peter
