Andrew,
Try this:
\transposition a \transpose a c {
\global
\clef treble
\relative c''' { %notes go here }
}
Regards,
Rick

Subject: transpositions within a global key setting.
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
