Not everybody has a programmers mind. I don't. I have no interest
whatsoever in programming. A person should be able to use a piece of
software without having to be a programmer to do so. If a programming
degree is necessary to use Lily then it is either a) not complete enough
for the general public to use, and a warning message to this effect
should be placed on the web site home page, or b) should be aimed at a
different audience - programmers/brainiacs.

Graham,
Great, that helps a lot. I haven't got a clue
what scheme is.
In that case, may I courteously extend an
invitation that you read the bloody Learning
Manual?
Please stop the sarcasm and the indecency. If
you're trying to be funny, it isn't working.
It's a continuation of this email:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-11/msg00439.html
If he doesn't know what scheme is, then he clearly *hasn't* read
the LM cover-to-cover yet. This means that he's missed some
terminology, missed some of the possibilities of lilypond, and
won't be able to communicate with the lilypond community as
effectively.
I leave it as an exercise for the reader. Neil,
Trevor, Valentin: please don't give the answer.
What are you doing? Are you trying to turn people
away from LilyPond?
You seem to be unfamiliar with the phrase "an exercise for the
reader". The idea is that solving the problem is a useful
exercise.
There have been 15 replies to Chip's
original message, and NO ONE has answered it yet.
This is embarrassing. If it were as easy to the
rest of us as it obviously is to you, someone
would have answered it. A user asks a perfectly
legitimate question, and the response is, "go
figure it out".
Give a man a fish, teach a man to fish...
But what you're doing is the opposite of helpful.
So please, stop. Since it's such an elementary
exercise, please provide it, now. I assume it'll
only take a minute. Then we can all learn.
1. Look at the selected snippets for \transpose. There's an
example that's very close to what he wants.
2. Look at
{ \displayMusic { a ais d dis } }
to get some info about how lilypond treats pitches. The idea is
to write a function that translates "a ais" into "d dis".
3. Modify the existing example so that instead of producing notes
with few accidentals, it changes the notename by the desired
interval.
