For scores with multiple instruments of various tunings, how do you
tell lilypond to to render midi with "normalized" pitch (everything
adjusted to concert pitch, appropriately) — WITHOUT transposing the
visual, written notes.
E.g., a trumpet part is written a whole tone higher, and you want to
keep it written that way, but, at the same time, you wanna hear your
trumpet part sound in tune with its concurrent piano part.
The way things are right now, one needs to create an additional
lilypond, containing WRITTEN transposition, to get a score like that
sounding right. Or /is/ there are way to do it with a couple of code
directives?
I'm not completely sure about it, but I think you should enter the music
in concert pitch and let it be transposed only for the visual display.
That way the MIDI output is correct automatically.
For your current problem (you probably already have entered the music)
maybe you can get away with something like
music = \transpose bes c \music
to make \music concert pitch.
Or you use an editor like Frescobaldi and transpose your already entered
part with that.
