Hi,  New user to Lilypond; a convert from Finale2009.   My use of music

notation is for transposition, mainly.   I can't afford an A clarinet at

present, so I need to tranpose A clarinet parts for my Bb clarinet.   When I

follow the manual, I don't get good results.   Example:  A clarinet part

starts in F and ends in F.   There's a B major change in the middle.   This

command does well with the F key signature sections but results in double

sharps in the B major section instead of Bb major:   \transpose f e {

Here's the .ly file.   Seems I need to wrap each key section in a transpose

command but I can't learn how to do this.

Appreciate suggestions.

I'm assuming the middle section should be in b-flat major instead of a-sharp major? if you wrap the b-major section with

\transpose ais' a' {

 \relative {

  \key b \major

  ...

 }

}

You should get what you're looking for.
