OK, I think I get part of that. I’m confused about how to implement the
diatonicScale = \relative c' { c d e f g a b }
motif = \relative c' { c8 d e f g a b c }
parts of the command. Does one put in the scale of the parent key into the
diatonicScale (e.g., \relative c’ { g a b c d e fis } for the key of G)? And
would this go inside or outside \transpose with the \modalTranspose command?
So far no matter where I put this in the score, compilation fails.
