Jatziri,
See:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Transpose
I regularly am given music in 'A' or 'C' to write out and transpose for B-flat
for the small orchestra I am in (for example I play a lot of parts written for
Cornets in A or sometimes, depending on the melody and the instrument that
plays it I'll be asked to join the bassoons or play a French Horn part - we are
a very small orchestra and have an imaginative conductor!).
So this is what I do.
I typeout the music 'as is' on the score and then I create different 'score'
parts with the transpose function accordingly.
Example:
OriginalMusicInA = { a b c d e }
Now I simply create score part thus
\score {
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trumpet "
\transpose bes a { \relative c'' \OriginalMusicInA }
}
}
What I also while I am in the process of copying out the score, is use
\transpose c c { \relative c'' \originalmusic }
and then change the 'c c' value to whatever I need to tranpose to/from once I
am ready to print the music out. it simplifies the working-out process for me
until I have checked for any copying mistakes.
I hope this helps.
James

hi everybody, know how to write for transposing instruments (clarinet
in Bes, bass clarinet in Bes, flute in G) without write the key
because I was looking and I don't found nothing about it, all I've
found is written in the traditional form and my writing is atonal
therefore only cause doubt if I write atonal for some instruments and
for the others not
thanks,
Jatziri
