How to transpose the songs? #88

Closed tj64 closed 10 years ago

tj64 commented 10 years ago

Probably not an issue but rather a sign of me being a lilypond newbie. One of the main benefits of openbook for me would be the possibility to easily transpose the songs to other keys. Is that possible, and if so, how?

Hi. You are right about the fact that this should be an advantage of openbook but I still didn't get around to writing the code for this...:)

Sorry...:(

When I get the time I will certainly work on it...:)

Hi, thanks for your answer, too bad, I thought (hoped) it would be just a single Lilypond instruction. So its not that straight forward, and I'm glad I did not have to search the manuals for hours to find this out the hard way!

Actually, at the lilypond level this is a single instruction. But openbook is made up of 130 tunes...:) It is not a simple one lilypond file... You can go ahead and do it at the individual tune or full book on your own but this should really be a menu item in a future planned openbook configuration system...
