Inversion
A music expression can be inverted and transposed in a single operation with:
\inversion around-pitch to-pitch musicexpr
The musicexpr is inverted interval by interval around
around-pitch, and then transposed so that
around-pitch is mapped to to-pitch.
music = \relative { c' d e f } \new Staff { \music \inversion d' d' \music \inversion d' ees' \music }

Note: Motifs to be inverted should be expressed in absolute form
or be first converted to absolute form by enclosing them in a
\relative block.
