Thanks. So I can't do what I want :-(

I know someone said there was a macro in jEdit or emacs or something 
that would transpose parts, but what I was hoping I could do was enter 
the part straight from treble clef, and tell lilypond that it was 
written in Bb. Looking at the example for the horn certainly makes it 
look like that is possible ...

I think that needs clarifying somewhat in the manual ...

Bummer! Another entry in my "I wish lilypond had that" list ... I'll 
really have to get into programming in Scheme and C++ :-)

Cheers,
Wol

HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards. He felt it would not be a
good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
as Lies-to-People.
