If you already have the music written in concert pitch, use the
transpose function to change displayed pitch.
\transpose bes, c { \clef treble \key c\major g' }
If your brass players prefer not to have a key signature, omit the \key
statement.

Kenneth,
If you look here:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches#instrument-transpositions
You will see that '\transposition' tells the MIDI and cue functions
what's going on so that MIDI output and cues in other instruments are
correct. It is still necessary to enter the notes at displayed pitch
as shown in the example.

Hi,
Trying my hands on transposing from concert pitch to Trumpet in Bf
and french horn in F, but the displayed notes are still in concert
pitch... How do I make these display the notes I would like the
players to see?
\new Staff = "trumpet" \with {
instrumentName = "Trp"
}
{
\clef treble
\key c \major
\transposition bf
g'
}
\new Staff = "french horn" \with {
instrumentName = "Horn"
}{
\clef treble
\key c \major
\transposition f
cs'
}
Best,
Kenneth
