You snipped from my reply the following important information: >> Before version 2.17.13, you want to avoid having \transposition >> inside of \transpose because its behavior is somewhat strange. Keep that in mind, and keep \transposition out of \transpose. Or the result will confuse you... > Can you explain in greater detail exactly what the difference is > between \transpose and \transposition, and why there are two separate > commands? Because they do entirely different things. \transposition does not change the visible score, it only makes a difference regarding what you hear. \transpose changes both visible and audible notes by the same amount. At any rate, the documentation is pretty good by now, so try <URL:http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches#instrument-transpositions> -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
