Francois, you're close. In hunting terminology, "on the fly" means catching/killing a bird in the air vs. catching/killing a bird on the ground. In fishing terminology, catching a fish "on the fly" means using a fly bait which requires continuous activity and rhythm with the rod and reel. In this

Yep sorry guys, I wrongly assumed that the sax player in our quartet would prefer reading 6-flats than 6-sharps (I would, but as a concert pitch player I'm used to reading things written in flat keys so that the horns aren't in tough keys). But I've just spoken to him and he's happier with the shar

The transposition of the instrument does not depend on the key of the music. On a B-flat sax a written C sounds as a B-flat. That's all the information you need. So use \transpose bf c' {the music} And indeed, key E-major goes to F-sharp-major. The original transposition from E-major to G-flat-

I have tried that but it transposes to F-sharp (6 sharps) and I'd rather it was in G-flat (6 flats). It doesn't put any double-accidentals when transposed to F# though, its true... If there's no work-around I guess I'll have to go the F# route, but this ought to be do-able somehow? Thanks -
