What I should have said was Take a _lilypond file_ , for example %%% \version "2.14.1" Music = { \key d \major a b c d | a b c d | } \score { \relative c ' { \Music } } %%% It's because of the \relative I think; the Notation Reference does actually talk about this - I don't think of 'transposing' without thinking about the changing of the key signature, which I don't want to do. Hence I didn't even think to use \transpose! So it seems I have to define the transposition within the 'Music' expression itself: Music = { \key d \major \transpose b c { a b c d | a b c d | a b c d } } Which keeps the key signature and does indeed shift the notes, great! But then I cannot (seem to) use \relative and this becomes absolute octave entry exercise. Unless I have misread the NR? James
