I am curious as to what are the "killer" use cases?
I have a suggestion, which I use for consolidating many things global (key,
tempo, meter, rehearsal markings), but would like to understand the
limitations of the current approach.
Another way of asking this is, what is so terrible with the obvious
approach?
BbClarinet = relative c { a4 b c d | R1 }
EbClarinet = relative c { e4 fis g a }
clarinet = relative c {
\mark \markup { "Bb Clarinet" }
\key a minor \BbClarinet
\mark \markup { "Eb Clarinet" }
\key e minor \EbClarinet
}
concertClarinet = relative c {
\key g minor
\transpose c bf { \BbClarinet }
\transpose c eb { \EbClarinet }
}
Or, if you think in concert pitch:
BbClarinet = relative c { g4 a bes c | R1 }
EbClarinet = relative c { g4 a bes c }
transposedClarinet = relative c {
\mark \markup { "Bb Clarinet" }
\key a minor \transpose bf c { \BbClarinet }
\mark \markup { "Eb Clarinet" }
\key e minor \transpose ef c { \EbClarinet }
}
concertClarinet = relative c {
\key g minor
\BbClarinet
\EbClarinet
}
