I have a practical question about transposing instruments, perhaps you have
some experience.
For example we make a c major score for Flute, Piano and Clarinet in Bb.
What notation should be used for "c d e f" in the Clarinet part?
I think it is natural to use \property Staff.transposing = #-2
So we have to have notes in d major.
What way is better for it:
\notes { d e fis g } -> i.e. write "played" notes (as you see in the score)
or
\notes { \transpose c d { c d e f } } -> i.e. write "heared" notes
(My first guess is that the latter is better, because this way I can easily
put that to other - non-transposing - instruments, I just have to remove the
transpose)
staffClarinetInBb = {
\new Staff {
\property Staff.midiInstrument = #"clarinet"
\property Staff.instrument = #"Clarinet in Bb"
\property Staff.transposing = #-2
\notes { % what should I write here?
}
}
}
Thanks,
Bert
