The LPNR:
The pitch to use for |\transposition| should correspond to the real
sound heard when a |c'| written on the staff is played by the
transposing instrument. This pitch is entered in absolute mode, so an
instrument that produces a real sound which is one tone higher than
the printed music should use |\transposition d'|. *|\transposition
|should /only/ be used if the pitches are /not/** being entered in
concert pitch*.
Well, yeah, that _might_ be seen as a little misleading. Certainly, that
statement is supposed to say: It does not make sense to use
\transposition for concert-pitch music.
But using \transpose a c' \some_concert_pitch_music_for_oboe_damore in
effect creates music _not_ in concert pitch, for which then
\transposition can (and should) be used, like in the example I gave earlier.
