Yes, (1) \transpose f des {music} works.  I use english.ly so (2) \transpose f 
dflat {music} also works.  I was told D-flat is equivalent to B-flat minor; but 
in term of key signature print D-flat has 5 flats while B-flat minor has 5 
sharps.   On score sheet D-flat show 5 flats.  How can I produce lilypond score 
sheet with 5 sharps for B-flat minor?

Subject: question on \transpose

How can I specifiy key minor or key major in transpose?
Is it possible \transpose from f major to b flat minor?  How to code in 
\transpose?

I put \transpose f bflat minor and I get syntax error.

I'm not sure (and maybe this is just how I think about transposing) but isn't 
the idea of transposing just to move it up or down to the transposing key from 
its original key (or in the case of moving parts for different instruments just 
moving the pitch difference)?

So can't you just use the relative/enharmonic?

i.e \transpose f des { music }?

or \transpose d bes { music }

Does that still work?

James
