Re: Instrument transposition and score transposition confusion

[Mats Bengtsson]

I think this is well described in the section on "Transpose", which 
provides a
similar example for the case of an A clarinet. If in addition you want
the MIDI output to sound correct, you should also use \transposing (which
has nothing to do with the printed output, just the MIDI output).
