I've got a piece in Eb major with a section in E major. For the
instrumentation involved it will almost certainly be necessary to
transpose it all down a minor 3rd due to the range in some of the
parts. The Eb section comes out in C which is just fine but the E major
ends up in C# major which is not so convevient. Db would be much easier
to read. Is there a straightforward way to accomplish having the Eb
section in C and the E section in Db?
Not as easy but I break music like that (just the one part) into pieces.
It's easy enough
to put the pieces back together with { \piece1 piece2 } and { \transpose x
y \piece1 \transpose a b \piece2 }

I had decided to go with the above idea of breaking the music into
sections and doing separate transpositions on each section to produce
the desired results. All was well until I ran into a long slur that
crossed the key change boundary.
To get around that I thought I would just pre-transpose the middle
section. I recall that there is (or was) a way to have LilyPond send
output to stdout (or directed to a file) which would allow me to take
the section in question, apply a transposition to it, send it to a file
and then use that segment instead of the original one in the fully
transposed version. I can't find a reference to this in the manual.
Has this functionality been removed? I thought it was called
"output-music" or something of the sort.
