Transposing: by interval

This entry discusses the transposition of the music in selected measures up or down. If you’re interested in transposing the key of a section, see Transposing: changing key. If you want to find out about transposing instruments, see Transposing instruments.

To transpose a region

  1. Choose the Selection tool and select a region. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
  2. Choose Utilities > Transpose. The Transposition dialog box appears.
  3. Specify the desired transposition, including Up or Down. If you’re performing a chromatic transposition, choose Chromatically from the upper-right radio buttons. You’ll notice that the Interval popup menu changes to list chromatic intervals—Minor Sixth, Diminished Fifth, and so on.
  4. Click OK (or press RETURN).
