New issue 3159 by address@hidden: Rewrite \transposition examples in notation
manual
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3159
The \transposition examples are really bad: we have
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Cl (A)"
\key a \major
\transposition a
c d e f
\textLengthOn
<>^\markup { Switch to B\flat clarinet }
R1
\key bes \major
\transposition bes
c2 g
What does this mean? First we are playing with an A instrument in
notational key a\major, meaning that the concert pitch key is actually
fis\major (!). Then we switch to a Bb instrument in the notational key
bes\major, meaning the music is actually sounding in aes\major. An audible
jump by 10 (!) accidentals.
To add insult to injury, the key of bes\major is printed with natural signs
dissolving the sharps from a\major. But with the instrument and
particularly the transposition switch, the keys are not even related.
It would be much less confusing to pick the same concert pitch key before
and after the instrument change.
