Maybe, even probably, he wants to print different versions of
the same piece.  It may be that each version would require
different fingering, for example.  One might have tab and
the other not.  It would be terminally confusing to use
\transpose for such a purpose, even if it worked.  I think *maybe* he is
looking for an editing tool, so there isn't anything for
him not to understand, is there?  DaveA
