Sound output transposing instruments
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
