Also you should probably consider any layout tweaks AFTER the transposition rather than the 'copying out stage'. I say that after spending ages getting that dynamic f or fermata 'just so' and then transpose it only to find now that that extra padding looks silly with the notes shifted. :)

It depends which part of the process you would like to be error-prone, I guess. I believe any mental transposition that may be required is inherently the weak link in the process and should be eliminated. Therefore I would suggest typing "as written" no matter what that may be, and using the built-in transposing commands to accomplish any changes that may be required. That way, it's less difficult to check the typing for errors. -- David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
