Oh, I see. I thought you were after some wierd 20th century notation (similar
to jazz improv stuff).
You probably _could_ do that kind of thing with scheme, but I think it'd be
simplest just to write out the notes in a macro and then use \transpose.
tetra=\notes{c d e f}
main=\notes{
\tetra
\transpose c' cis' { \tetra }
}
Something like that. (I haven't looked at the new \transpose notation yet,
so don't be confused if that part is wrong.)
