Thread Name: Tech: Changing Key!
Subject: RE: Tech: Changing Key!
Hello, Jacqued. I sometimes lead music in church, and I often need to make songs lower. I use Noteworthy to I transpose them all the time.

Here's how:

1. Enter or download the notation in Noteworthy. Save it.

2. Make sure the key signature is in place. If it's C, insert that. (type K,C, enter)

3. Type alt, T, T. (opens the transpose box on the tools menu) Tell it how many half-steps to change it. To go from G to E, let us say, tell it -3. Uncheck the box that says to make it sound the same. (That box is for trumpets and French horns, I think.)

Press enter.

Save.

If I've skipped a detail and this doesn't work, let me know.
