Thank you, your information will be very helpful to me.

I will study all remarks, let me reply for now to this particular one.

My prior experience with any form of markup code is HTML/CSS and SVG. In
those environments when you open something you have to close it again.

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/changing-multiple-pitches#transpose

That is the pattern that I see in the documentation.
\transpose a c { ... }
I assumed that the opening and closing brace are _part of the syntax_ of the
\transpose command.
I assumed that you _must_ tell the \transpose command where to stop
transposing, hence I assumed a need for an opening and a closing brace. 

I gather from your reply that the \transpose command is simply placed in
front of a block, and then the \transpose command will apply to the end of
that block.


OK.
