Let me try:

The part is written A and should be transposed to be in Bb. So the  
normal thing would be
   \transpose bes a {
     % part in A.
   }

To get a 12-equal enharmonic equivalent transposition, one these  
should be replaced with the enharmonic equivalent, for example A#  
instead of Bb. So
   \transpose ais a {
     % part in A
   }
