Master transpose
Master transpose value in semitones. This value can be changed

Note: Transpose may be automatically changed when selecting a
different Performance or Style. It may also be changed when load-
ing a Standard MIDI File generated with an instrument of the Korg
Pa series.
To avoid transposing, the Master Transpose is "locked" by default.
If you want to lock or unlock it, change the Master Transpose Lock
parameter's status (see "General Controls: Lock" on page 218),
then write the Global to memory (see "Write Global - Global Setup
dialog box" on page 231).

Chords are shown according to the standard suggested in the
book "Standardized Chord Symbol Notation (A Uniform System
for the Music Profession)" by C. Roemer and C. Brandt (Roerick
