Thanks for posting your file. I now see that re-setting the language like this \language english overwrites the changes that were made by #(ly:parser-set-note-names parser dodecaPitchNames) and that lets you combine different types of staff, as shown in the snippet below. That's good to know! I haven't been able to look closely at your message about the problem of converting the chromatic note names back to traditional names. But I wonder if a simple find/replace operation on the .ly text file would work as well or better than converting to MIDI and back? It just seems like you could lose a lot of info through the MIDI conversion (since MIDI is meant for audio and not notation). You could just do a find/replace for each of your 12 chromatic note names, converting them to the traditional names. Maybe you could script this somehow. I wonder if there are scripts for converting .ly files from one note-name language to another that could help? If your target is a sharp key you would use the sharp names for the "black-key" enharmonic notes, or flat names for a flat key. That would result in the correct notes for any notes in the key, and then you could manually change any accidental notes that fall outside the key (choosing a sharp or flat enharmonic) if needed. (If the target key had more than 5 sharps or flats, you'd need to adjust for that, for example F --> E#.) Hmmm... then the tritones and relative entry problem would only occur if there were a tritone that included an accidental note, and you would have a 50/50 chance of it coming out correctly. You could manually check the accidentals I guess. (Maybe a helper function that would highlight any note that was a tritone away from the previous one, and maybe it could even check that one note was not in the current key? Might be tricky.)
