I used to think I was smart :-\
I'm arranging some church hymns for six-part instruments, Flute, 2
Violins, 2 F Horns, 1 cello.
Hymn is in F major. Arrangement is notated in LP in F major. How do I
get the Horn parts correctly engraved in the proper key? I have tried
\transpose f c'
and
\transpose bf f'
and
\transpose c f
and various other combinations. Reading the manual it looks like it
should be
\transpose bf f'
But no matter what I select the midi output is horribly wrong. The midi
output is only correct if I comment out the \transpose directive. The
midi output clearly changes when I use the \transpose directive, so it
seems as if midi is being altered by using \transpose. Unfortunately
it's being altered incorrectly.
Thanks,
Guy
