Likely a sane convention. Note that you can easily do that even in case you prefer to enter in instrument pitch by using \transpose to move to concert pitch. At any rate, I'd strongly suggest using \transposition only at the last possible moment. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
