Staff notation 137
Quoting another voice with transposition
Quotations take into account the transposition of both source and target. In this example, all
instruments play sounding middle C; the target is an instrument in F. The target part may
be transposed using \transpose. In this case, all the pitches (including the quoted ones) are
transposed.

\addQuote sax {

The quotedEventTypes property determines the music event types which should be quoted. The
default value is (note-event rest-event tie-event beam-event tuplet-span-event), which
means that only the notes, rests, ties, beams and tuplets of the quoted voice will appear in the
\quoteDuring expression. In the following example, a 16th rest is not quoted since rest-event
is not in quotedEventTypes.
For a list of event types, consult the “Music classes” section of the Internals Reference.
