Hi Keith,
By saying reedPlayer stores written pitches, I meant only that the
\transpose{...} operations, to tell LilyPond which notes should be printed at
which transposition, were included in the variable reedPlayer.
Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for adding the issue to the tracker — it’s a great starting place.
You have to admit that this does (accidentally) make it sound a bit like you
are looking for a convenient way to write music with no regard for the
instrument.
Not at all. I inhabit [at least] three roles

I've never quite found the right term for this.
'Player' isn't bad, although I would also suggest considering the following:
'folder', 'chair', 'stand' or 'desk’.
But (as you go on to point out) a “folder, “stand, or “desk could certainly

You are essentially writing polyphonic material (albeit, one voice is playing

That’s a valid, but non-intuitive, way of looking at it… I like your

Hi Keith,
thanks for that snippet! It should be possible to add KeySignatures to

I don't care about the midi transposition. AFAIK I really only

instrument switch.
