When I think I'll be printing up different transpositions like this I
try to prepare for it when I input the notes.  For example:
music = \relative c' {
  c d e f g a b c
}

\score {
%  \transpose c c {    % use this line for treble clef Bb
  \transpose c bes,, { % use this line for bass clef C
%   \clef G            % use this line for treble clef Bb
    \clef F            % use this line for bass clef C
    \music
  }
}


First I defined the music.  Then I set up a couple of switches so I can
easily change between transpositions.

Hope this helps.
