Ahhh, I understand thanks anyway.

In principle it does not work. I store one melody in concert pitch in
a variable, and then reuse that variable for the original and
transposed scores. But the docs of \transposition say " \transposition
should only be used if the pitches are not being entered in concert
pitch.", so apparently it is not intended for my use case.
