I'm not sure it's quite right to say that Lilypond thinks in terms of pitch, not note names, because it selects the spelling of transposed notes based on the note names. For instance, \transpose c cis fis gives fisis , not g , whereas \transpose b, c fis gives g. The one-semitone transposition of the same note is different depending on the note names used to specify it. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before tribes. https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/
