Hi there guys,
I've been writing out a part for B-flat sax. I've written out the
music in
concert pitch and so am using \transpose to display it in the right
key for the
B-flat sax. The part I'm writing is in E-major when in concert
pitch, so this
becomes G-flat-major when transposed for the B-flat instrument.
The problem I'm having is that Lilypond is choosing to use double
flats for a
number of particular notes when it prints out the B-flat part. For
example, if
I write a G or an F in the concert part (which is in E-major) these
get written
out as B-doubleflat and A-doubleflat respectively, in the B-flat
instrument
part, instead of as A-natural and G-natural, which would be easier
to read in
my opinion.
Is there a way to get around this problem - maybe to stop Lilypond
from using
doubleflats? Annoyingly, if I re-write my G as F-doublesharp it
gets printed
out as an A-natural when transposed - but I don't want to have to
write my g as
fss all the time as that will make working out what i've written a
whole lot
harder!
Below is some code which should cause this problem for you too!
Besides this I would just like to say: great work - I'm really
impressed with
Lilypond. Thanks! Jon
\include "english.ly"
sopranosax = \relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Soprano Sax"
\clef treble

\time 4/4

}
\score {
\new Staff = "Soprano sax" { \transpose e gf \sopranosax}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
}
}
}
