Re: Transpose

[address@hidden]

Hi John,

I suspect you'll have to write out your pattern in C major and then A minor 
first, and then transpose the pair all the way through the other keys.  Be 
aware that you should be able to use '\key c \major' for the C maj. and A min. 
pattern.

Hope this helps,

David
