Transposing instruments

[Pierre-Luc Gauthier]

Hello again Kieren,

Sort of a pedantic conversation here but anyway, the way I manage
transposition is  :

I write music somewhere :

piccolo = { c'''4 }
clarinet = { c''4 }
violin = { c'' }
guitar = { e, }
bass = { e,, }
\addQuote "x" \x

Then I define the parts :

piccoloPart = \transpose c' c { \tranposition c'' …}
piccoloScore = \clef "treble^8" …
hornPart = \transpose f c' { \transposition f …}
hornScore = \clef alto …

Transposition is an instrument problem. Guitarist and bassist expect a
treble and a bass clef.

If I'm transposing for, say, the clarinet part in A of Bf, why should
I not transpose the bass part?

This guitarStaff is made to be displayed to a guitarist expected to
play a guitar. Not to be used anywhere else.

Transposed notes for a Bf clarinet are not the wrong notes.

I guess my point is : guitar, piccolo and basse are no different to me
than clarinets, horns, english horns, etc.

I now feel a weight have been lifted from my shoulders.
