Hi again,
        I attach my attempt to use \modalTranspose in order to save code when 
rewriting broken chords in C major and A minor.  The idea is to go ahead and 
repeat the exercise in G major, Eminor etc., however, it looks as though I am 
going to have to write everything out (longhand). You will see in my example 
that modalTranspose gives a strange interpretation of A minor and I wonder 
whether there is a solution to this?

Look up \modalTranspose in the manual.
