Right, but for simple copying of written music and further hearing,
this simple example works:
\version "2.11.62"
clarinet = { \key d \major d''1 }
flute = { c'1 }
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \transposition bes \clarinet }
\new Staff \flute
>>
\midi {}
\layout{}
}
Granted, \transposition is not useful in general if it does not
support \transpose in it (or outside of it).
