It's a continuation of this email:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-11/msg00439.html
If he doesn't know what scheme is, then he clearly *hasn't* read
the LM cover-to-cover yet. This means that he's missed some
terminology, missed some of the possibilities of lilypond, and
won't be able to communicate with the lilypond community as
effectively.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the phrase "an exercise for the
reader". The idea is that solving the problem is a useful
exercise.

1. Look at the selected snippets for \transpose. There's an
example that's very close to what he wants.
2. Look at
{ \displayMusic { a ais d dis } }
to get some info about how lilypond treats pitches. The idea is
to write a function that translates "a ais" into "d dis".
3. Modify the existing example so that instead of producing notes
with few accidentals, it changes the notename by the desired
interval.
