I have a piece of choral music in 8 parts. It's too low for my choir to sing, so I want to transpose the entire piece up from the key of F to the key of A. I asked an almost identical question in November and the first answer I received worked. Unfortunately, it doesn't work this time, perhaps because the score is formatted differently. As a mere musician, I'm afraid many of the answers I received last time were too technical for me to understand, so I'd be really grateful for simplicity in responses.
I'm enclosing the file, just in case someone wants to fix it for me.
Thank you.

Hi Peter,

I'm sure we can help with the transpose for you. I just opened your document.

But FYI: Your LY file does not compile on my Windows 10 machine. Can you take a look at it again?
