Oh, goodness… I think you may have shared this on the list before, but I didn’t
quite understand how cool and powerful it was/is!

I outputted MIDI, and it clearly doesn’t work as expected.
That *may* be a problem for me at some point in the future, but isn’t right now.

I jacked it up a bit — threw a few preliminary “curve balls” at it (e.g.,
separated global data into a variable, added an “internal” key change with
“injected” transpositions around it, etc.) — and it handled them like a pro:
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.10"
\language "english"
\include "oll-core/package.ily"
\loadModule oll-misc.pitch.auto-transpose
\loadPackage notation-fonts
\loadPackage edition-engraver
\addEdition test
\consistToContexts #edition-engraver Score.Staff.Voice
\editionMod test 4 0/4 trans.pose.Voice \transposition bf
\editionMod test 8 0/4 trans.pose.Voice \transposition a
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\editionID ##f trans
}
}
global = {
\key d \major
s1*5
\key f \major
s1*5
}
theNotes = {
\repeat unfold 5 { d'1 }
\repeat unfold 5 { f'1 }
}
\score {
\new Staff
\with { \editionID pose \autoTranspose }
{ << \global \theNotes >> \fine }
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS
I’m 100% going to be using this in my framework — thank you so much!!!
Kieren.
