Before version 2.17.13, you want to avoid having \transposition inside
of \transpose because its behavior is somewhat strange.

\transposition gives the relation between audible and visible pitch.

If you want to enter stuff in true pitch, you can transpose it down
visually by using \transpose.  So if you write something like

\new Staff {
  \transposition bes
  \transpose bes c' { bes ces' des' es' }
}

then what you write inside of the \transpose command is transposed one
note up visually, but the bes that looks like c' after the transposition
sounds like bes still.
