Try specifying transposition before relative. The following (not quite
minimal) example works for me:
TptOne = \relative c''{
\key c \major % Needed here, or the part in Bb gets no key signature.
% notes .....
}
\context Staff {
% \transpose must be outside \relative
% - see http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/\
% user/out-www/lilypond/Transpose.html#Transpose
<<{\transpose bes c' \TptOne} \markings>>
}
