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?
Bb minor would have 5 flats; it is the relative minor of Db. Five
sharps would be B major or G# minor. If you want to transpose your
score to five sharps, then your \transpose command would be
accordingly different:
\transpose f b {music}
Relative minor keys are as follows:
C = A minor = no sharps
G = E minor = #
D = B minor = ##
A = F# minor = ###
E = C# minor = ####
B = G# minor = #####
F# = D# minor = ######
C# = A# minor = #######
C = A minor = no flats
F = D minor = b
Bb = G minor = bb
Eb = C minor = bbb
Ab = F minor = bbbb
Db = Bb minor = bbbbb
Gb = Eb minor = bbbbbb
Cb = Ab minor = bbbbbbb
