Convenient Functions for Singing Along with Your Own Performance

Changing the Key (Transpose)

You can match both the Song and your keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, the Song data is in F, but
you feel most comfortable singing in D, and you are accustomed to playing the keyboard part in C. To match up the
keys, set the Master Transpose to “0,” the Keyboard Transpose to “2,” and the Song Transpose to “-3.” This brings the
keyboard part up and the song data down to your desired singing key.
