Re: Transposing instruments

[Guy Stalnaker]

Francisco,

\transpose was working as expected -- the horn parts were rendered the expected 
5th higher. The issue was the midi output. It, too, was 'rendered' a fifth 
higher. I could not figure out how to use \transpose and also get the correct 
midi output. David Kastrup explained how \transpose works and how 
\transposition then affects midi output only, which is what I wanted, which is 
the 'relationship' I mentioned. Of course, were I old-school I could enter the 
horn part a 5th higher directly and then use \transposition to get correct midi 
output. But \transpose is a great feature that lets me input notes in concert 
pitch and I like that. 

Thanks,

Guy
