Node:Sound output for transposing instruments, Previous:Different editions from one source, Up:Orchestral music
When you want to make a MIDI file from a score containing transposed
and untransposed instruments, you have to instruct LilyPond the pitch
offset (in semitones) for the transposed instruments. This is done
using the transposing
property. It does not affect printed
output:
\property Staff.instrument = #"Cl. in B-flat" \property Staff.transposing = #-2
