To clarify, replace line 29 of 01-clemens-a7-0-score.ly so that it it
changes from:
\score {
<<
\new ChoirStaff = choirStaff \with {
to:
\score {
\transpose f af <<
\new ChoirStaff = choirStaff \with {
If you want single parts (probably not), you would do a similar thing in
the respective parts files.
Don't write \transpose f as <<
as I did, because in English notes that makes A sharp major (four sharps
and three double sharps ;-) )
One of the first things I did in Lilypond was try to transpose a
renaissance choral piece, and I remember that it's not necessarily trivial
or easy, especially for a Lilypond beginner. It took a while for me to get
my head round the file structure of this piece. I prefer to put it all in
fewer files, though sometimes my file structure is just as weird.
