Thanks Christian. Not sure why that happens (bug?) but that works fine. 

Best regards,

Hi Peter!

It seems that \transpose treats the block of notes following it as absolute 
notes. If you adapt that line to explicit relative notation it probably yields 
the result you're aspiring.

\version "2.22.0"

\language "english"

{
  \transpose c a,
  \relative {
    c'4 d e f g a b c
    \transpose cs df
    \relative {cs' ds es fs gs as bs cs}
  }
}

All the best,
Christian

I am trying to engrave a transposed song. It's written without key signature 
but is very tonal. It starts in C and ends in C#. I want to transpose it down a 
minor third. The part in C is fine, but the part in C# ends up as A## and there 
are far too many double-sharps for it to be performable.

I found the 'minimal accidental' snippet but that looks as if it messes up the 
tonality - a mixture of A sharp and B flat.

I tried the code below, which get the note names right but the octaves go 
completely wrong. Is this a bug? It would be a useful feature if it could be 
corrected.

\version "2.22.0"

\language "english"

{
  \transpose c a,
  \relative {
    c'4 d e f g a b c
    \transpose as bf
    {cs, ds es fs gs as bs cs}
   
  }  
}
