Hi Peter,

I think you should consider using tags:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.3"
melody = {
c'2 -\tag #'violin -\downbow g'2 -\tag #'violin -\upbow es'2. d'4 |
c' es' d' c' |
b d' g2
}
{ \clef alto \keepWithTag #'violin \melody }
{ \transpose bes, c { \clef treble \removeWithTag #'violin \melody } }
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
[Note: It seems like you might also benefit from reading the manuals,
especially the Learning Manual.]
> turning a melody in a minor key into a major key.
There’s a function out there somewhere to do that — search the LSR, etc.
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
