RANSPOSING
In some cases, a song may be written in a difficult key (e.g., many black keys), or you
may wish to shift the pitch to match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you
can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use an easier fingering, or use the same
familiar fingering to play at a different pitch. This is called the Transpose function.
For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown at the
lower left will produce the pitches shown at the right.
