Just adding my two cents to this debate. In my humble opinion it's pretty clear what "12" in this context means as Lilypond's syntax is always about the divisor. c4 is always a quarter of a whole note. Therefore c12 would always be a twelth of a whole note, thus a third of a quarter note. And c7

Hi Peter! It seems that \transpose treats the block of notes following it as absolute notes. If you adapt that line to explicit relative notation it probably yields the result you're aspiring. \version "2.22.0" \language "english" { \transpose c a, \relative { c'4 d e f g a b c

Hi Peter! It seems that the invisible e you add for the ending of the bow is drawn as a note facing the left side (you can unhide it) which explains the right-shift of the e2. If you rearrange it to: << \relative { b,4.~( 8 c e 4. 4 b,8 | 2. s2. } \\ \relative
