The Transpose functions
You can erase and move transpose events, but you can
not mute, cut or glue them. The option “Locators to Selec-
tion” does not apply on transpose events.
Transposing individual parts or events using
the info line
You can also transpose individual audio and MIDI parts and
events via the Info line (or the Inspector). This transposition
will be added to the global transposition (i.e. the root key or
the transpose events). Proceed as follows:
1. Select the event that you want to transpose.
2. In the Project window info line, adjust the Transpose
value as desired.
Ö A global transpose change will not overwrite individual
part or event transpose, but will be added to the trans-
pose value for the part or event. In this case, it might be
useful to keep the transposition within the octave range
(see “Keep Transpose in Octave Range” on page 116).
Other functions
Indicate Transpositions
When you transpose your music, you may sometimes
want to visually compare the original sounds and the
transposed music. For MIDI parts, you can check this by
opening the Key Editor and clicking the “Indicate Transpo-
sitions” button. This will help you see how your MIDI notes
will be transposed. If the button is activated, the Key Edi-
tor will show the note pitch you will hear, if it is deacti-
vated, the Key Editor shows the original pitch of the notes
in your MIDI part. By default, the “Indicate Transpositions”
button is deactivated.
A MIDI part as originally recorded.
When you activate “Indicate Transpositions” you will see how your MIDI
part will be transposed.
