Hello Michael,

I think this question is more appropriate for the -user list.
Since I usually call lily from inside frescobaldi, my solution to this has been defining a variable for the resulting pitch:

\version "2.18"

newTonic = des
music = \relative { c' }

\score {
  \transpose c \newTonic \music
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Anyone else knowing how to get this via the commandline? I seem to recall there was some possibility for custom options or something.

HTH, Simon

I've only been using LilyPond for a rather short time, so far mostly for
engraving short snippets transposed into several keys for practicing. Of
course, the transpose command works nicely for this.

However, it made me think of how transposing could be even nicer and now I'm
wishing for a command line option to the lilypond command to transpose the
engraved document by N halftones up or down. The particular advantage would
be that this way the original document doesn't need to be changed in any way
in order to transpose it.

Does this sound reasonable?

Michael
