Unless you are writing for natural horn in G, the French Horn today is the double horn in F-Bb. You write it: 1. without Key Signature 2. with accidentals for each pitch 3. a FIFTH above the actual pitch () Alternatively you can write in C (i.e. the actual pitch) and let Lilypond transpose it for you a fifth higher (see: \transpose).
Thanks to all for the answer. I wasn't aware of the transposed notation praxis for this instrument. So I think it will be best to write the actual notes as they should appear on the sheet. This can make discussions with the performers easier.
If I generate a MIDI file to look for mistakes I will use the \transpose by a fifth to get a well sounding output.
Thanks, Helge
