The pitch to use for \transposition should correspond to the real sound heard when a c' written on the staff is played by the transposing instrument. This pitch is entered in absolute mode, so an instrument that produces a real sound which is one tone higher than the printed music should use \transposition d'. \transposition should only be used if the pitches are not being entered in concert pitch.
After using \transpose, they are not in concert pitch.BTW, it could be better named as something like
\transposingInstrument, it seems.
Why?
Would be more explicit: transposition can be understood as the act of transposing,
"transposition" is not a verb. And it describes the relation betweenprinted pitch and Midi pitch without necessarily referring to aninstrument.
That wasn’t clear to me from the doc. \context Voice = "Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One" << \transposition a \transpose a c' % <<<<<<========= HERE \Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One
Thanks David, that solves my problem!
