I took out the references to LilyJAZZ just to demonstrate, it should work regardless of font and I didn't have the .ily file handy.That certainly helped. I’m being fussy now, but there’s unnecessary white-space between the “E” and the “b”. Also, I want the “Alto Sax in Eb” in a smaller font, and the \flat is bigger than I want it.Forgive me for suggesting, but I suggest it improves mental health to think of transpose in the form:\transpose "to" "from" \musicExpressionI used to think of the transposition in this way until I found a need to transpose the whole piece to a different key (to accommodate a singer’s range, for example), and I found the two ways of looking at transposition tied my brain in knots.Ideally, I’d like to define the whole-piece transposition at the top of the file, rather than editing the per-instrument transposition at the point of book production.So, Bb and Eb parts would be:\transpose bes, c \trumpetPartConcert\transpose es, c \altoPartConcertinstead of the cryptic:\transpose c d' \trumpetPartConcert\transpose c a' \altoPartConcertAlso, I took out references to \jazzOn since it didn't compile.>> Thanks in advance,>> Michael HendrySure, I hope this helps.Very much so.I’ve attached my modified version of your code, along with the necessary include files and an example of the output. I like the informal look of the Jazz fonts, but I can still be obsessional about font-size mismatches!Michael
