you can always use 
    \displayLilyMusic\translate from to {music}
in a lilypond file.

This will print out the transposed music in lilypond format on the command 
line, where you can copy it to your file. (Or course, you can also redirect 
the output directly to a file by appending "> new_file.ly " to your call to 
lilypond.
