Hi, Brian,
Below, I will paste in a thread from a few years ago discussing the topic of
transposition. I will add that we now install templates that have the correct
transposition already set.
Find Lime 9 on the Start menu and then open the submenu to find a shortcut to
the Templates folder. Within the Templates folder you will find a folder
called Transposed.
Bill

As Albert said, we can use the Key Signature dialog in Lime to transpose the
entire part. The shortcut is CONTROL+K to open the dialog. However, I usually
have to perform some trial and error experiments to get it right.
There are a number of options presented by this dialog. If you choose the
options you think should bring the desired results and find that you do not get
the desired results, use the Undo option under Lime's Edit menu. Then try it
again.
I use this feature lately to transpose alto saxophone parts for my son to play.
The trick is to have Lime play the correct concert pitch but show the correct
transposition for the alto sax. The alto sounds 9 half steps or semitones
below concert pitch. The B-Flat trumpet sounds 2 half steps below concert
pitch.
Transposition is one of those things that can confuse the brain. I think of it
this way. The trumpet (my own instrument) sounds 2 steps below concert pitch.
So, if I want the trumpet player to sound Middle C concert, I must tell him to
play the D which is 2 half steps or semitones above that note.
So I must write a D or RE to hear a C or DO. Thinking this way may come
naturally to some people but I must always think it through explicitly as above
each time I do it!
When I use the Key Signature dialog successfully to perform transposition, Lime
sounds the correct pitch but I see the written, transposed pitch on my braille
display and, of course, the print shows those transposed notes too.
Then I can print it out for my son and know that it will sound as planned.
Regards,
Bill

Hi,
Don't highlight anything; just use the key signature dialog. The only trick is
that you'll need to do it at every key change.
Thanks,
Albert

I know that transpose is in the notes menu, alt+n followed by T, then the
number of halfsteps up or down to transpose. But how do I highlight everything
in the current part or the whole piece before transposing? I only seem to find
selection commands for moving by beats or bars, not larger chunks.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Chris

Subject: [goodfeel] Lime Aloud question
Hello folks,
I am just starting to dive in to Lime, and I had a question. Yesterday, I was
trying to write a chart out for a sax player to use, and I am a little confused
as to how to transpose for the instrument. I know you do that from within the
key signature dialog, but there are several checkboxes relating to
transpositions and so I was wondering if someone ould walk me through ** To
