Transposing my songs

I don't mind in the musicals, but the keys are interrelated in the song cycle. If the whole thing is transposed down for a baritone and mezzo, that's fine, but I'd rather that people only transpose for auditions or individual songs. - As a guitarist, keys have moods. I waited to get a lyric soprano for Rachel, as opposed to transposing her down a third for a mezzo. There was a sound that I was chasing.
