Is this what you had in mind?

It works, but is a real pain because one has to had as many lines of exactly
the same "text" as there are going to be transposed parts.
Furthermore, in the original file setup, the notes (scale) are defined in
one file (together with the "text") and the "\score" in another.
Is ther some way (given the current "limitation" of "\lyricsto") to keep
this separation between "data" and "presentation"?

Thanks,
