I have a piece of choral music written in 7 parts. It's around 80 bars
long.
It's in the key of F major, which is too low for my choir.
I'd like to transpose it up 3 semitones to A flat major.
I'm new to Lilypond and the syntax gives me nightmares. I read the
manual's section on transposing and now have a headache.
Please could someone either give me an idiot's guide to how to do this,
or amend the enclosed.
Please always (try to) give a minimal working example. This could
something like the following for choral music:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.80"
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff { \key f \major d' } \addlyrics { "blah" }
\new Staff { \key f \major c' } \addlyrics { "blah" }
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You can transpose the whole score by simply adding the \transpose
command before the music. This will transpose pitches and key signatures:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.80"
\transpose f as \new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff { \key f \major d' } \addlyrics { "blah" }
\new Staff { \key f \major c' } \addlyrics { "blah" }
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
