 When typesetting scores that involve transposing instruments, some
 parts can be typeset in a different pitch than the
-@notation{concert pitch}.
-
-The key of a @notation{transposing instrument} can be specified.
-This applies to many wind instruments, for example, clarinets
-(B-flat, A, and E-flat), horn (F) and trumpet (B-flat, C, D,
-and@tie{}F).
-
-For such instruments, LilyPond will print a correct part, but is
-not aware whether the instrument is playing in concert pitch or
-not.  This can lead to problems if you want a MIDI output, or if
-you quote other parts in a transposing staff.  In such cases, an
-explicit transposition must be specified:
+@notation{concert pitch}.  In these cases, the key of the
+@notation{transposing instrument} should be specified; otherwise
+the MIDI output and cues in other parts will produce incorrect
+pitches.  For more information about quotations, see @ref{Quoting
+other voices}.
 
 @example
 \transposition @var{pitch}
 @end example
 
-@noindent
-where @var{pitch} specifies the key in which the instrument plays.
-For example, a part for B-flat clarinet would include:
-
-@example
-\transposition bes
-@end example
-
-This command sets the property @code{instrumentTransposition}.
-The value of this property is used for MIDI output and quotations.
-MIDI output is transposed to play at concert pitch, and cue notes
-and quotations are automatically transposed to the key of the
-instrument in which they are quoted.  For more information about
-quotations, see @ref{Quoting other voices}.
-
 The pitch to use for @code{\transposition} should correspond to
 the real sound heard when a@tie{}@code{c'} written on the staff is
-played by the transposing instrument.  @code{\transposition}
-should be used when the music is entered from an orchestral part
-written for the instrument.  For example, in classical horn parts,
-the tuning of the instrument is often changed during a piece.
