Hello, I have recently discovered Lilypond, and wow. It is just great. I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
I have a question on how to diatonically transpose a motive in a non-major or minor scale in this case, a pentatonic. For instance, suppose I have this pentatonic {a c d e g } and I have a phrase that is {a c g e} and now I want that phrase to start on g so transposed diatonically to the "mode" (its not really, but that is basically what I want) of that a pentatonic it would be {g a e d}. If I use regular "\transpose a g {MyPhrase}" it will come out {g bes f d} and include notes that are not in my original a minor pentatonic. Can I define my own modes? I know that \dorian, \ionian are in there somewhere, can I make my own scale\modes somehow and just use those? Thanks for any advice or snippets!
