Hi List,

let us say I have a piece where I want to specify the key signature once
for all instruments. I have something like the following:

\version = 2.19.82
global= {
 \key f \minor
 \time 4/8
  }
%% (and whatever other settings I want)

oDAMusic = \transpose a c {

  \relative c''' {
    \key as \minor
    {{MUSIC}}
  }
}

\score {
\new Staff = "Staff_oboeDA" <<
      \global \oDAMusic
    >>
}

I've omitted other variables, instrument blocks, and settings. My question
is what to do about this instrument, the oboe d'amore, which transposes.
According to the NR, here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/changing-multiple-pitches#transpose

I would need to format the block like this to print the correct key
signature. When I do this, however, Lily throws an error about "Two
simultaneous key-change events" and that one will be junked. Score output,
however, looks fine, with the transposition and key-signature correct.

As a general question, how should I be formatting this so that I don't get
an error?

Cheers,

A
