Transposing help.

[Seth Merkley]

I've recently been trying to transpose a piece of music I got from mutopia
here:
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=645
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=645 
I don't know how to write lilypond files, but I did read a little bit on the
basics and I do understand the basics of other languages such as C. Also,
the files are in German, so that probably adds to my confusion.

Anyway, I was able to transpose the first movement of the flute part by
adding "\transpose h' f' { \fluteA }" (h = b in German, this took me awhlile
to figure out) to the bottom of the "flute_1.ly" file and compiling the
"flute_part.ly" file. I realize there's probably a more correct way to do
this, but again I don't understand entirely how lilypond files work...
Later I tried to transpose the first movement of the accompaniment, by
adding "\transpose h' f' { \clavecinA }"  to the end of the clave_1.ly file
and compiling the score.ly file. Usually, the score.pdf contains both the
flute and accompaniment on a three-bar staff, but after transposing both
fluteA and clavecinA the score.pdf had the flute part of the whole first
movement, and then just the accompaniment of the whole first movement
separately. The other two movements that I didn't transpose were in a
three-bar staff like usual. Also, the midi file that was created is
unreadable by my player.

If someone could download the music and help me out here I would greatly
appreciate it.
