Sorry, but that's totally obfuscate.  You are inputting some stuff in B,
inputting some stuff in A, juggling around and transposing stuff.  It is
not clear what instruments should be playing the stuff in the end for
what reason.

When you _quote_ music, its \transpose setting is considered in the
quote.  Quotes refer to concert pitch.

When you put stuff in variables without knowing what transposition they
are supposed to be used for, don't put a \transpose statement into the
variable.  Instead, specify the \transpose where you actually know what
instrument you are playing.

So what are you aiming for?  You have the answer, know what you are
supposed to do but would like somebody else to do it?

I don't get it.  Or at least I hope so.
