Re: [Denemo-devel] transposing a score

[Ludo Beckers]

Transposing is essential for me.
I play diatonic harmonica (in a chromatic way ;-)) and "think" on a C-harmonica, so if something is in the key of Db and I decide to play it on an Ab harmonica, I want to transpose chords plus melody accordingly.
I guess some Lilypond syntax will have priority on my study roster.

It is not wrong to learn lilypond. At least the basic commands.

About transposing: Most people having problems to understand the very
concept of transposing. There are too many usages of these words.

In Denemo it means: Undescrutive. You will not change the notes in
Denemo but only in Lilypond. Or you will hear a different
pitch/playback.

If you search for something to shift up and down notes then you mean a
destructive way, thus the keysig will not change.

Anyway, we need to unify the commands and write a better manual. But
this needs more infrastructure to create GTK/Scheme windows.
