Performance
By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance
without changing the notes you play.
For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( )
or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range
that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e.,
with the same fingering positions).
