Mark – I've just had a look at python-ly and it appears to be exactly what I was after. Thank you very much! Sent from Mail for Windows From: Mark Knoop You might be interested in python-ly (https://python-ly.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) which is actually written by the Frescobaldi developers and used within it. This provides a command-line tool that can do transposition (and more) and shouldn't be too hard to use from within Emacs.

I'm doing a little bit of arranging of some baroque pieces for specific instruments, which usually requires some transposition. I can transpose within the lilypond file so that the output score has the correct (transposed) notes, but what I really want is to have the transposed notes in the lilypond file itself. This means I can print out the score without needing to transpose anything. So basically I want to change an input from, say \transpose c,f {c d e f} >>> >>> to simply >>> >>> {f g a bf} >>> >>> In other words, I want the transposition in the file itself, not just in the typeset output.
