\transpose x y { music notes c4 es etc. etc. }
Fairly easy but sometimes things are not necessarily obvious after staring at
it too long.
Good luck,

Lilypond transposition newbie.
Hi. I am giving Lilypond another chance after having been away for some
time. I am using Frescobaldi and have copied some sheet music for a C
instrument, in my case a C Melody saxophone. Now I would like to take
this Lilypond file and transpose it for a Tenor saxophone. I have
replaced everything to do with a C Melody saxophone, with Tenor sax
info. However, the notes are of course the same, as for the C Mel and
need to be transposed. I have looked through the Lilypond documentation,
as well as the archive for this e-mail list, but I still am unsure what
I need to do. I believe that it has something to do with the \transpose
function but am unsure how to get this to work as a Tenor saxophone is a
transposing instrument already, but nothing has changed when I changed
instrument type. The original key for the song (for a C instrument) is A
Major, and I know that for a Tenor saxophone, this needs to be changed
to the key of B Major. If the \transpose function works as I think it
does, then I apparently should add a "\transpose a b" someplace, but no
matter where I add this, nothing changes.
I have posted a dump of the Lilypond file that I am working on here:
