Thanks, Leo – I didn’t known about that command so I'll have to experiment with it. Sent from Mail for Windows From: Leo Correia de Verdier Depending on how you’ll use it \displayLilyMusic may also be useful.

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.
