Also choose carefully a transpose interval which does not give too
much accidentals. For example, given a tune with sharps in the key
signature, if you want it to be transposed half a step up, do not try
to transpose it from c to c sharp, because you'll end with many double
sharps. Transpose it from c to d flat, which has the same effect but
simplifies the resulting key. Also remember to include the original
\key command into the expression being transposed, if you want it to
be transposed as well.
