Re: Transpose a lilypond file
You can do something like the following and move the “foo = …” into song.ly:
\version 2.19.13
foo = \new Score {
{ c' d' e' f' }
}
{ \foo }
\transpose c d \foo

I have a song.ly file which prints a song. Is it possible for someone to
print the song with a transposition, say c to d, without editing the .ly
file? Something like:
\transpose c d {\include song.ly}

Re: Transpose a lilypond file
Not directly. You should somehiw pull the music variables out of song.ly and
compile a second file.
Or you use version control and either create a transposed branch or simply
edit, compile and discard the transposition.

I had a similar problem some time ago.
I included the following lines in song.ly
#(define transposeTo
(if (defined? 'transposeTo)
transposeTo
#{ c #}))
melody = { ... }
chords = {... }
\score {
\transpose c $transposeTo
...chords ...
...melody ...
}
Then you simply make a new file song-in-d.ly:
#(define transposeTo #{ d #})
\include song.ly

Cool solution, I'll take this into my repertoire.
You can then factor out the function into a library file. And you could pass
the variable on the commandline instead of adding a new file.

That's interesting - in Denemo I created a global transpose variable to
be applied not just to the score but also things like footnotes quoting
bits of music - being able to specify the value of this transposition
from the command line adds more flexibility - I guess you would need the
if-not-defined construct to handle this (otherwise you would *have* to
define the variable on the command line).

Very nice. And easy to add to my existing .ly files. This idea may also
work for another issue I have. Different number of music pieces in the
score. \musicA \musicB \musicC etc. In some cases only two are defined
and in some cases five or six are defined. I should be able to used the
defined? construct to handle that.
Thanks.

Being able to call from the command line would be quite interesting. We
were going to have a website where someone could get the song sheet plus
the corresponding midi with the transpose they want. Would be easy to
implement with the command line option. That project is still a few months
away.
