Oh, I see. I thought you were after some wierd 20th century notation (similar to jazz improv stuff). You probably _could_ do that kind of thing with scheme, but I think it'd be simplest just to write out the notes in a macro and then use \transpose. tetra=\notes{c d e f} main=\notes{ \tetra \transpose c' cis' { \tetra } } Something like that. (I haven't looked at the new \transpose notation yet, so don't be confused if that part is wrong.)
