Maybe this helps: You can use \transpose with a variable for the 
destination pitch.

For example, if I write

\version "2.23.6"

tonic = f

\transpose c #tonic \relative {
  d' e f
}

\transpose c #tonic \relative {
  es' d c
}

I can change multiple scores just by re-defining \tonic. This might be 
combined, for example, with some \include mechanism.
