It looks like you are entering notes as written for the instrument
(as opposed to entering notes in concert pitch) and that makes sense
for transcribing.

You need only \transposition to tell LilyPond the sounding pitch to 
put in midi (and to transpose cues between different instruments).

oboe = \relative c'' { \key g \minor d16 d8. ~ d4 }
clarinetB = \relative c'' { \transposition bes \key a \minor c16 c8. ~ c4 }
hornF = \relative c'' { \transposition f d16 d8. ~ d4 }
