Improve transposing tool

asked Apr 3, 2016 in Notion by thomassedminek (300 points)
The transposing tool needs to be overthinked completely to my mind. E.g. I have a score for TTBB choir written in Ab major and I need to transpose it for SATB to G major. With notion this is a mission impossible - at least as far as I tried with the transposing tool. I'd like to choose the key directly and not only be able to transpose intervals up and down.

Thanks a lot!

@martinkutschker Honestly - is your comment really ment to be a "professional" one?! What I had to do in Notion 5 to solve this was to transpose up a major seventh and then transpose down one octave. Transposing down a minor second led to a wrong result. So come on martinkutschker! Notion claims to be a big player. Have a look on the transposing tool in MuseScore. This makes the work much faster and easier. Can't be that big challenge to implement something like this...

That would be a nice one to have, but come on. It's hardly a mission impossible to figure out how many semitones apart two keys are.

I didn't say that the feature wouldn't come in handy. I even gave you a +1, so no need to be angry with me.

OTOH if you think that Notion doesn't transpose correctly please file a bug report.
