Transposition
How to get there
Click the Selection tool 
, and select a region of measures. Choose Transpose from
the Utilities Menu.
What it does
In this dialog box you can specify a transposition
of any interval, from a half step to an octave, you want to be applied
to the selected measures (or to a note in the selected motif).
This kind of transposition has nothing
to do with the key signature; it merely transposes the selected music
up or down by the interval you specify, adding or subtracting accidentals
as necessary.
- Up
· Down. Choose the direction of the transposition
relative to the existing notes.
- Diatonically
· Chromatically. Specify what kind of
transposition you want—a diatonic one (that moves notes up and down the
scale) or a chromatic one (that can move notes by half steps).
- Interval:
· Perfect Unison · minor second […etc.] · Perfect Octave. From this popup menu, choose the
interval by which you want the selected music transposed.
- Preserve
Original Notes. Select this option when you want to keep the original
line of music when transposing notes to a selected interval. In effect,
you’re doubling the notes in your score. When this option is not selected,
SongWriter transposes the existing line of notes without keeping the
original line.
- OK
· Cancel. Click OK (or press return) to confirm, or Cancel to discard,
your transposition selection. If you click OK, SongWriter performs the
transposition.
