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.
Hi Peter,
What about the syntax is giving you nightmares?
You could transpose pretty much all music by just a line (maybe two) of
code.
You want to go up a 3rd? No problem.
Down a tritone? No problem. :)
\score {\transpose x y .... ...etc }
\transposition I believe is more for transposing instruments in
orchestral scores, etc.
(maybe that is confusing you?)
Are you using Frescobaldi? If so, it's even easier than that...
FYI your zip file contains many files....
