Re: Transposing instruments in orchestra score

[Shevek]

If I understand correctly, what Orm wants is to be able to write something
like this:

clarinet = \relative c' {
    \transposing bf
    c4 d e d |
    \transposing a
    c d e d
}

And get the output to show d e fs e ef f g f (using English spelling).
Currently, in order to enter music in concert pitch and have it display
transposing, one needs to do the following:

clarinet = {
    \transposition bf
    \transpose bf c' {
        \relative c' {
            c4 d e d
        }
    }
    \transposition a
    \transpose a c' {
        \relative c' {
             c4 d e d
        }
    }
}

This is cumbersome. It becomes a particular pain if one wants to do multiple
editions with different transpositions. It would be much, much easier IMO if
this could be accomplished with a single line command, like in the first
snippet.
