I'm having a problem with chromatic scales and \modalTranspose. According to:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/changing-multiple-pitches#modal-transformations
it should be possible to do what I want. Ascending passages work as expected.
Descending ones do not. I get an unexpected octave displacement. The
following code produces the odd result. What I want is for each descending
motive to simply descend a chromatic octave without leaping up an octave. What
is going on and how can I achieve my desired result?

motiveDown = \relative c' {

\modalTranspose c g \chromaticScaleUp \motiveUp
