Re: third down, diatonically

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear neuro,
this was a misunderstanding. I didn't want to transpose the example a minor third, I wanted to transpose a third, diatonically, in the key of c, without "black keys". This is, I think, very much used in tonal music.

2008/5/1 neuro <address@hidden>:

\transpose ?

like

\transpose c a{

\relative c' {
  \clef G
  \key a \minor
  \time 4/4
  \partial 2.

  \ e4 a b  | c2.( a4 )|   % 3
  c2.( a4 )| g  e b' c   % 5
  d e,( d' c) | c( b) b( a) |   % 7
  a ( g) f-. g-. | a4*3 }
}

good luck

Subject: third down, diatonically

Dear Lilypond-users,
I would like to transpose this melody diatonically one third down:
\relative c' {
  \clef G
  \key a \minor
  \time 4/4
  \partial 2.

  \ e4 a b  | c2.( a4 )|   % 3
  c2.( a4 )| g  e b' c   % 5
  d e,( d' c) | c( b) b( a) |   % 7
  a ( g) f-. g-. | a4*3 }
the transposed melody should  be:
\relative c' {
  \clef G
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  \partial 2.

  g4 c d  | e2.( c4 )|   % 3
  e2.( c4 )| g  g d' e  |   % 5
  f g,( f' e) | e ( d) d( c) |   % 7
  c ( b) a-. b-. | c4*3 }

Is there any way to do this automatically, maybee in other keys than c-major a-minor?
Thanks,
and have a nice day, it's may 1st!
