As a string player, I always get confused when trying to deal with the
grammar
of transposition. In the below excerpt from the docs, should "a fifth
downwards"
be "a fourth upwards" ? Or "a fourth downwards" ? Or should the
\transpose
be written differently? Or...?
----
\hornNotes = { stuff in C (concert pitch, sounding pitches, whatever) }
{
\transpose f c' \hornNotes
}
The line
\include "horn-music.ly"
substitutes the contents of horn-music.ly at this position in the file,
so hornNotes is defined afterwards. The command \transpose f c'
indicates that the argument, being \hornNotes, should be transposed by
a fifth downwards. Sounding `f' is denoted by notated c', which
corresponds with the tuning of a normal French Horn in F. The
transposition can be seen in the following output
