I have tried that but it transposes to F-sharp (6 sharps) and I'd rather it was in G-flat (6 flats). It doesn't put any double-accidentals when transposed to F# though, its true...
If there's no work-around I guess I'll have to go the F# route, but this ought to be do-able somehow?

Why don't you use \transpose e fs instead of \transpose e gf ? Hope this helps!
