Transposing

The Edit-Transpose command transposes the pitches of note events up
or down by a Þxed number of steps. It does so by changing the MIDI key
numbers of note events. Simply enter the number of half-stepsÑa
negative number to transpose down, a positive number to transpose up.
Pro Audio can also perform diatonic transposition, which shifts all the
notes up and down the major scale of the current signature by the
designated number of steps. For instance, if you specify an amount of +1
and the key signature is C-major, a C becomes a D (up a whole step), an
E becomes an F (up a half step), and so on. Diatonic transposition
assures you that the transposed notes Þt with the original key signature.
As an option, you can choose to transpose selected audio clips along with
any selected MIDI clips. Pro Audio uses pitch-shifting (a plug in for
changing audio pitch) to perform the transposition. You can transpose
audio only a single octave in either direction (-12 to +12), and you cannot
transpose audio when you are using diatonic transposition.
