Subject: Transposing an entire score
I have a piece of choral music written in 7 parts. It's around 80 bars long.
It's in the key of F major, which is too low for my choir.
I'd like to transpose it up 3 semitones to A flat major.
I'm new to Lilypond and the syntax gives me nightmares. I read the manual's section on transposing and now have a headache.
Please could someone either give me an idiot's guide to how to do this, or amend the enclosed.

Looks like all you'll need to do is change one file:

parts/01-ego_flos_campi.ly

replace all instances of  "\relative" with "\transpose a, c \relative"

For example,

quintaParsIincipit = \transpose a, c \relative c' {
    \time 2/2
    \clef "petrucci-c1"
    \key f \major

    f1
}

I've attached such a version of that file.

HTH,

David Elaine Alt
