You can perform simple chromatic or diatonic transpositions, transpose from one key to another, or
define your own custom transposition.
The transpose options are as follows:
Parameter/Option Meaning

steps.
Diatonic Specifies diatonic transposition. Transposes notes by the specified number of
scale steps within the specified scale.
Key/Scale Specifies transposition from one scale and key to another.
Custom Map Specifies custom transposition as defined by the map.
Offset For Interval transposition, the number of steps for the transposition.
For Diatonic Transposition, the number of scale degrees for the transposition.
For Key/Scale transposition, a number of octaves added to each note after
transposition.
Key For Diatonic transposition, the key in which the transposition is made.
From, To For Key/Scale transposition, the starting and ending key and scale.
Transposition Map A table of pitch mappings for the specified transposition. You can select to show
the pitches as note names or as note numbers. For Diatonic and Key/Scale
transpositions, pitches not in the starting (from) key are indented.
To change a pitch mapping, click on a From pitch and select a To pitch with the
pop-up slider. If you change a pitch mapping, the transposition type is
automatically set to Custom Map.
Constrain to Scale For Diatonic and Key/Scale transpositions, forces all non-scale notes to be
transposed to the nearest appropriate scale tone.
