Hello,

First, excuse my poor english, but I've found a little bug in the "\transposition" command (for MIDI output).

For ascendent transposition (trupet e.g.), " \transposition d' " works correctly.
Also for descendant transposition (horn e.g.) " \transposition d " works also.

But for octave transposition (Contrabass e.g.), it doesn't works.

" \transposition c' " let the score inchanged, and " \transposition c " (without ' or ,) descend the score for two octaves.
As far as I can see, this is exactly what you should expect if you read the documentation. In http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-pitches#Instrument-transpositions you see that the argument to the \transposition command is the pitch you want to hear when a c' is played, which obviously means that
\transposition c'
doesn't change anything, whereas
\transposition c
should provide a MIDI output that sounds one (not two) octave down compared to the notation, which it also does as far as I can see (and hear).

My version is "2.11.63"

Best regards, and congratulation for your big work.

Jean-François
