Thanks, Patrick! I agree that the name may be confusing. I considered
calling it something like \scalarImitation, since that's also
musically correct description of what it does.
FWIW, if you wanted to recast a passage in C-major to c-minor
(aeolian) you could use it this way:
cAeolian = { a b c d e f g }
\transpose a c \modalTranspose c a \cAeolian \somemusic
provided, of course, that \somemusic contained only notes in the key of C.
I'm pressed for time today, but will try to give a more thoughtful
reply to the other points in your message this evening. Perhaps some
others on the list will weigh in with more suggestions in the
meantime.
Cheers,
Mike
