I'm trying to figure out how to define a \transpose function. What I
want to do is to put this definition in a file along with clef
definitions. I want to do this so the piece can quickly be altered for
different ensembles (i.e. brass choir, trombone choir). I have a file
with all the instrument names and clefs and I would like to add a
transposition definition so that I can edit this all in one file. I've
tried several different ways and have not found one that works yet.
I would like to put something like:
\score {
\notes \myTransposition {...}
}
and have:
myTransposition = <something that works>
in another file.
I've tried to define the whole '\transposition x x' which doesn't work.
I have also tried defining just the transposition string and using:
\transpose \myTransposition
which also doesn't work. I get parse errors. Sometimes they are
'unexpected SCORE' or ' unexpected STRING_IDENTIFIER, expecting PITCH or
NOTENAME_PITCH or TONICNAME_PITCH:'
Is there a way to do this?
