Well, specifically, I'm preparing a transposed, or rather de-transposed, 
 tenor tuba part for "Don Quixote" of R. Strauss.  The original part is 
in bass clef but in a Bb transposition.  I'm keeping it in bass clef but 
transposing it down a step.  This is no problem.  Furthermore, I'm 
including all the original cues at their original notated pitches.  All 
the cues are in a separate definition block.  I ran into a problem when 
I decided it would be interesting to also create a Bb Treble clef 
notated version while at the same time retaining all the original cues 
at their original pitches and clefs.  It seems that I do *not* need to 
change all the cues from \relative to absolute.  All I need to do is 
place a few more explicit clef changes at points where in the original 
there were not clef changes between the cues and the main part.  If the 
clef remains the same then Lily will not print a new clef.  If it 
changes, then it does.
