Re: How to avoid key change with \transpose ?

[Alex Loomis]

I don't know about keeping in the right key for transposition (I actually ran into the same project today). To make the ending work, perhaps you should do something like:

base = \relative c' { c4 c8 [ d8 ]  e4 e8 [ f8 ] g4 }

violinI = \relative c' { \base e f g}

violinII = \relative c' { r2 \transpose c g {\base} d c}

Where base is the part that is identical for all four parts.

Hi Lilyponders,

How to keep all voices in C major?
Making each voice start later 2 beats after the previous voice is easy.
What's the best way to make all voices stop on the same measure?


violinIV = \relative c' {
 c4 c8 [ d8 ]  e4 e8 [ f8 ] g4
}

violinIII = \relative c'' {
  r2 \transpose  c g \violinIV
}

\violinII = \relative c''' {
  r2 r2 \transpose  c d \violinIV
}

violinI = \relative c'''' {
  r2 r2 r2 \transpose  c a \violinIV
}
