Hi all,Even more to the (semantic?) point, the following two are IDENTICAL with respect to pitch:
\version "2.11.37" \include "english.ly" musicClef = \relative { \clef "treble" f e d c \clef "treble_8" bf a g f } musicOct = \relative { f e d c #(set-octavation -1) bf a g f } \score { << \musicClef \musicOct >> }In NEITHER case are the PITCHES "transposed" in any way -- in both cases, the PITCHES are identical... and the same as "the original".
What's happening here is that, in Version #1 (the clef change) we're explicitly showing that the notation is in a different clef, whereas in Version #2 (octavation) we're using a shorthand to transpose the CLEF ITSELF (while leaving the pitches exactly where they are)!
Therefore, I suggest something like "Clef transposition and octavation", or something like that, so that it's clear that the PITCHES are not being transposed in any way.
Cheers, Kieren.
