Yes. Some of the common uses of \transpose are to allow one to write
the music in concert pitch, but print it out for a transposing
instrument, such as a clarinet in Bb, or to take a choral piece written
for one voice (soprano) and print it out for another voice (tenor). You
generally want to keep the modulations the same as the original, so you
want all of the music transposed by the same amount.
I suspect you are thinking that "\transpose a g" means "take any music
in the key of A and convert it to the key of G". That's not what it
means. It means "transpose everything in the attached music down a
whole step."
However, \transpose only acts on the music that you pass it: If you
only want to transpose one section, you can certainly do that.
organPart = {
\transpose a g { ... section 1... }
\transpose a f { ... section 2... }
}
