You are quite right of course.
My thinking was focused on the following kind of pattern:
The variable 'global' is called 4 times:
global = {
\key a \minor
\time 4/2
}
Level of indirection; you declare the key in a single place, and the
compiler retrieves it there 4 times.
My underlying vague hope was that something along those lines would be
available for transposition too.
I had tried:
\transpose c' a {
\score { ... }
}
Which doesn't work.
My error was that on that negative result alone I jumped to the conclusion
that \transpose cannot be used on any grouping, that it can only be used on
otherwise uninterrupted sections.
