Thanks, that worked. I ended up going with the following since it allows
you to use it inside a \relative section, but I'm confused as to why I
needed to use \transpose c c'' instead of \transpose c c' for it to work
correctly. Could you explain why?
\version "2.17.95" %version change since I switched computers
octava =
#(define-music-function
(parser location music-input)
(ly:music?)
#{
\new Voice << $music-input \transpose c c'' $music-input >>
#})
\relative c' {
\octava { c d e f }
}
