I use the transpose function just before rendering stuff. Here's a typical
file that should demonstrate what I do. The \book sections at the bottom
are where the transpose is done, while the Melody variable contains the
music. If I have chords, I'll use the \transpose function in the same way.
I'm a little confused as to what you want. If the band's horns are in F pitch,
why do you want the score in E♭?
But anyway, to transpose from F to E♭, modify the lines which use your
variables to
\transpose F ees \frhornInIINotes
and
\transpose F ees \frhornIIInIVNotes

So I've been notating a piece for my son's school band (junior high).
Copying the music from paper into LilyPond using Frescobaldi. And now I hit
a wall. The music piece is written for french horns in E flat pitch. But
the band's horns are in F pitch. I need to transpose the score
I'm trying to get a Fine on the first ending of a repeat volta nested in a
repeat segno. An MWE will probably be clearer:
\version "2.24.3"
music = \relative {
\time 3/4
\partial 4 c''4 |
c c c |
\repeat segno 2 {
\bar "||"
d d d |
e e
\repeat volta 2 {
e |
f

Well, I had looked at \autoChange but it seems to add extra staves when
used with multiple voices. I had also looked at Beam.auto-knee-gap and
it didn't seem to make any difference

No, there isn't – in general, how shall LilyPond know which note
belongs
