Transposing instruments

[Guy Stalnaker]

I used to think I was smart :-\

I'm arranging some church hymns for six-part instruments, Flute, 2 
Violins, 2 F Horns, 1 cello.

Hymn is in F major. Arrangement is notated in LP in F major. How do I 
get the Horn parts correctly engraved in the proper key? I have tried

\transpose f c'

and

\transpose bf f'

and

\transpose c f

and various other combinations. Reading the manual it looks like it 
should be

\transpose bf f'

But no matter what I select the midi output is horribly wrong. The midi 
output is only correct if I comment out the \transpose directive. The 
midi output clearly changes when I use the \transpose directive, so it 
seems as if midi is being altered by using \transpose. Unfortunately 
it's being altered incorrectly.

Thanks,

Guy
