First of all, please keep all discussion on the forum.
Private messages don't buy you anything but deprive others
from the information contained in the thread.

Well, if you provided a short example, I would have got a
cleaner idea about what you did and could perhaps send it
back fixed.  New I guess you forgot the curly braces around
the music you wanted to transpose: use \transpose b a { your
chords }.

Concerning the "capo" text, look up the 3.7.9 Text scripts
and the 4.5 Text markup sections in the manual.  You should
find all the possibilities there.
