I pondered this in my sleep last night, and this is the rule I came up with:
When transposing keys (not instruments), say
\transpose from to
When transposing instrument parts, say
\transpose to from
Example 1: I have a masterpiece in D. I think it's a little too low, so
I want to typeset it in E. I should use
\tranpose d e
Example 2: I have a violin part. I want to prepare it for my
brother-in-law to play on his A clarinet. I should use
\transpose a c
Could someone verify that I got this right? If so, it might be fodder
for an update to the documentation.
Regards,
Daniel
