As mentioned just above your question - it's the first trumpet part, just copied/pasted into the 2nd trumpet part.
The second part I want to transpose also for Trumpet, also in the
key of D, but a fourth lower.
In the key of d, but a fourth lower. Do you mean the key of a?
Key of A? No, as I said in my post - in the key of D.
Or do you want the part in D major, but a fourth lower than the first part?
Yes, as I said, a fourth lower, in the key of D.
I'm a little confused as to what you want. If it's the the latter,
then yeah, it's probably doable in scheme, but I don't know scheme and
can't help you there, and I would just say type it a fourth lower.
melody = {c d e f g a b}
trumpet 1 = {d e fâ g a b câ}
trumpet 2 = {a b câ d e fâ gâ} ??
trumpet 2 = {a b câ d e fâ g} ??
If my piece were only 7 notes long that would work just fine. Graham Percival wrote:
How much clearer can I make it? The questions are answered in the posts right above the questions. A trumpet part in the key of D but notated a fourth lower, still in the key of D, as described above. The notes print on the .pdf one fourth lower than what is input in the .ly file. The transposing should not effect the key signature, it starts in the key of D and stays there for the transposed notes.Chip, I am 90% convinced that the solution to your problem was posted here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-12/msg00586.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-12/msg00585.html With another person trying to figure out what you wanted here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-12/msg00581.html None of those solutions involve programming, and they are easily constructed with the knowledge in the LM. If you cannot, or will not, describe what you actually want, it's very difficult to help you.
Ok, it's answered above. After all is said and done, the output from Sibelius sucks, so I've done the long-hand work and just typed in the notes a fourth lower in the .ly file so this will be ready for the band tomorrow.Now, you've done this in Sibelius so it may seem irrelevant now, but I'm really curious. Please answer this email: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-12/msg00581.html
I'm gonna re-read those posts your refer to tomorrow morning, and experiment a bit and see how it goes.

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, "gofigure 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. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user_______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
