No ;-) I also got that until I realized that my function does not work 
with \relative c' so my function will get the notes a2\5 which is 
correctly transpose to g2\5 but since the string 5 is tuned at b' it's a 
bit hard to put it on that string!

If I change \relative c' to \transpose c c' then it works!
myNotes = \transpose c c' {
<< \pedA a2\5 \pedF cis'2\4 >>
}

What I want to do is create a tablature for the Pedal Steel Guitar. 
Since it has pedals that retune the strings, which are named A, B, C,... 
,the actual tab location needs to be for the not-retuned note.
e.e The pedal A will retune string 5 from b' to cis' and string 10 from 
b to cis. This means if I want it to show the pitch a' on string 5 I can 
tab this as g which will be on fret 8. then I put the pedal name beside 
the tab note. so it will look like 8A.

But in the normal Staff I of cause want to have the a' that the player 
should play.

So my function pedalAction should take a note (Pitch with string-number) 
and transpose it according to the pedal definition.
In a perfect world I would like it to work on chords (acting on specific 
notes in the chord) and on notes.

Hopefully I have made this a bit more understandable!

I will come back to you when I have figured out what your 
transpose-last-chord-entry does and how...

Thank you for you help!
