Search/Replace in an editor is fine for one or 2 files. + I never remember

500.
Here is one I just thought of... (Haven't tested yet) It should make copies
transposed for clarinet.
$line=~s:\\relative c':\\transpose c b \\relative c':;
$line=~s:\\chordmode:\\transpose c b \ \chordmode:;
$line=~s:Violin:Clarinet:;
