I assume that you mean \transpose and nothing else. Of course, this is one good approach to avoid having to type all the ' and ,. However, I still recommend you to give the \relative another try. I think most people on this list agree that it's very convenient once you get used to it. The basic idea is very simple, as long as the melody only includes intervals that are not larger than a fourth, you don't need any ' or ,. For all larger intervals, you add 's or ,s to get to the correct octave.

Greetings,
Is it proper to use \transcribe c c'' { ... } to convert the upper staff for piano to an octave where not so many 's need to be specified? I attempted to use \relative c'', but found that mode to be much too unpredictable for my tastes. Is there another/better way to do this?
