Jatziri, See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Transpose I regularly am given music in 'A' or 'C' to write out and transpose for B-flat for the small orchestra I am in (for example I play a lot of parts written for Cornets in A or sometimes, depending on the melody and the instrument that plays it I'll be asked to join the bassoons or play a French Horn part - we are a very small orchestra and have an imaginative conductor!). So this is what I do. I typeout the music 'as is' on the score and then I create different 'score' parts with the transpose function accordingly. Example: OriginalMusicInA = { a b c d e } Now I simply create score part thus \score { \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trumpet " \transpose bes a { \relative c'' \OriginalMusicInA } } } What I also while I am in the process of copying out the score, is use \transpose c c { \relative c'' \originalmusic } and then change the 'c c' value to whatever I need to tranpose to/from once I am ready to print the music out. it simplifies the working-out process for me until I have checked for any copying mistakes. I hope this helps. James
