RE: Transpose

[John McWilliam]

Hi again,

                I attach my attempt to use \modalTranspose in order to save code when rewriting broken chords in C major and A minor.  The idea is to go ahead and repeat the exercise in G major, Eminor etc., however, it looks as though I am going to have to write everything out (longhand). You will see in my example that modalTranspose gives a strange interpretation of A minor and I wonder whether there is a solution to this?

Look up \modalTranspose in the manual.
