1) why do I need "\transpose f c \tenor" instead of "\transpose f c'

\transpose f c' is transposing UP a fifth, it will play a fifth higher
than written.
\transpose f c takes it down a fourth.
I guess it's written in treble clef, so for a tenor voice you will want
to take it down.
The first note is the input value, the second value is the note that is
output, and each octave starts at C going up. So the ' octave starts
with middle C (c') and goes up the treble clef, while the plain
unaltered octave starts with C in the bass clef (c), and goes up to but
does not include middle C.
