I am transcribing an autograph with an arrangement for a small
orchestra. There are two transposing instruments: Clarinet in B and
French horn in F. The piece itself is set in g minor (some parts also in
g major).
The original score begins with this picture:
oboe = \relative c'' { \key g \minor d16 d8. ~ d4 }
clarinetB = \relative c'' { c16 c8. ~ c4 }
hornF = \relative c'' { d16 d8. ~ d4 }
\score { <<
\new Staff { \oboe }
\new Staff { \clarinetB }
\new Staff { \hornF }
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
besides some other voices. I know the name "Clarinet in B" but honestly
I don't know what this means. Which pitches should I get from these notes?
How can I set this with Lilypond so that I can also create a MIDI file
with correct pitches? I would like to have the MIDI file for acoustic
error check of my transcription.
How can I use \transpose and \transposition to get both a nice looking
PDF output and a useful MIDI file? I assume that the music definition
will include the \key g \minor for all voices and the transpose will
change it and removes the flats. But I didn't get it in the last hours.
Regards,
Helge
