Example 1: To play a song a semitone higher
Set the “Transpose” setting to “+1.” With this setting, pressing the C key will sound like a C#. If the pitch has been raised a semitone as in this example, playing the notes shown at the lower left will produce the pitches shown at the lower right.
Example 2: Using G fingering to play a song in B
Set the “Transpose” setting to “+3.”
Bb is a minor third above G (three semi- tones higher). Thus, we will make set- tings so that when the C key is pressed, the D# note (three semitones above C) is played.
