Why does the presence of \transposition change the effects of the

\addQuote "inA" \notesA
\addQuote "inAd" \transpose c c, \notesA
The \transpose operation changes *all* the pitches in \notesA, including the c'
that tells LilyPond what the instrument \transposition is.
(\transpose really should not change this pitch, and there is a bug listed about
this. http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=754)
Ok. So when and if the bug is fixed the ability to write a theme in one
instrument and quote it for any other instruments which play it at the
same time in whatever will be available!?
The effect is that \transpose will change the written pitches, but leave the
sounding pitches the same. Quotes with \quoteDuring use the sounding pitches.
I do not know a way to do what you want with \quoteDuring.
Again from what you say shouldn't fixing the bug solve the problem?
(I just use
variables to hold short motives instead.)
Yes, that's what I've done for years until I recently got comfortable
with \quoteDuring and whenever the theme occurs again at some other time
or in some other key.
A similar issue must have been
handled to make the function \transposedCueDuring, so that might serve as a
model if any Scheme programmer (as many users seem to be) wants to find a
solution.
Maybe I will have time to do this this summer. This seems to me to be a
required cousin of \quoteDuring.
Thanks,
Paul
