No you didn't :) Thank you for responding to what seemed a _very_ basic
question.
What I should have said was
Take a _lilypond file_ , for example
%%%
\version "2.14.1"
Music = {
\key d \major
a b c d | a b c d |
}
\score {
\relative c ' { \Music }
}
%%%
It's because of the \relative I think; the Notation Reference does actually
talk about this - I don't think of 'transposing' without thinking about
the changing of the key signature, which I don't want to do. Hence I didn't
even think to use \transpose!
So it seems I have to define the transposition within the 'Music'
expression itself:
Music = {
\key d \major
\transpose b c { a b c d | a b c d | a b c d }
}
Which keeps the key signature and does indeed shift the notes, great!
But then I cannot (seem to) use \relative and this becomes absolute octave
entry exercise.
Unless I have misread the NR?
