By transposing, do you mean transposing the concert pitch so that instead of a bes and as should sound? Or do you just want to transpose the written pitch (i.e. to as transposition), leaving the concert pitch the same? In the latter case, \transposition and a subsequent \transpose is really what you are looking for. In the first case, shouldn't also all other instruments (and thus also the cue notes) be transposed, because otherwise they would not sound well together... > This is no problem.

Aren't cue notes in scores for transposing instruments also properly transposed? E.g. if you have a score for an instrument in bes (so what looks like a c is actually a bes) and the cue instrument plays a (real) c, where will this note be shown in the score for the Bb instrument? Between the third and fourth line (thus looking like a bes), or on the fourth line? You might also take a look at the recent thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-03/msg00073.html In my example there, the first line is e.g. violin 1 and plays real c's. The second line is a transposing instrument in f, also playing c's. In the third measure, there is a cue note from the violin (a c''). Where do you want this note to be displayed? Like in the PDF (i,e, at the same staff position as in the violin score, thus looking like an f to the player of the transposing instrument) or at the same pitch as the other c''s for the transposing instrument? > I ran into a problem when > I decided it would be interesting to also create a Bb Treble clef > notated version while at the same time retaining all the original cues > at their original pitches and clefs. Doesn't this also include some key changes to make up for the tranposition? (BTW, are you talking about concert or written pitch?) Sorry for my ignorance, but I only recently learned about transposing instruments, when I wrote a score for Corni. There, I printed all cue notes also transposed, so that the same sounding note in the cue instrument and the corno score look exactly at the same position. In particular, in my score http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/temp/Schubert_StabatMater_D383_CorII.pdf in measure 56 of "Nr.9 Chor" (middle of the second page), the Fag./Tr.3 are actually notated in bass clef in their scores and play b - a - gis - fis (but since the score is in e, the cue notes are displayed as g - f - e - d, which in concert pitch is the correct b-a-gis-fis). Am I wrong here?
