Hello,
Instead of putting \transpose cis' a you could put the enharmonic
\transpose des' a
Then you would have a F# instead of a Gb, but that would change the other
pitches as well in the new (equivalent) tonality.
There is also the naturalizeMusic function documented in NR 1.1.2 Transpose
pitches with minimum accidentals ("Smart" transpose) that could help.
Kind regards,
Xavier
