Chapter 8 Global Tracks 345

Transposition events are closely linked to the progression of the chord root notes in the

Chord track: Changing a chord root will be reflected in the Transposition track, and vice

versa. Any alteration or creation of a transposition event will generate or alter the

corresponding chord in the Chord track. All Apple Loops and MIDI Regions will be

pitch-shifted accordingly. MIDI Regions will only be transposed if the No Transpose

checkbox is deactivated in their respective Object Parameter boxes. The “zero position”

of the Transposition track is determined by the current key signature in the Signature

track. If the key signature changes during a song, the “zero position” of the

Transposition track changes accordingly. The Transpose track always displays the

difference between the Chord track and the Signature track at the appropriate chord

position.

Note: “Regular” Audio Regions (Audio Regions that are not Apple Loops) will not be

affected. Nor will Apple Loops that do not have a key definition (drum loops, for

example).

Handling Events in the Transposition Track

The Transposition track contains nodes that are connected by vertical and horizontal

lines. Each node represents a global transposition event, which determines the global

transposition value until the song position reaches the next transposition event during

playback.

Handling of transposition events works in a similar fashion to Tempo track events: They

are created with the Pencil tool, and can be moved horizontally (along the timeline) or

vertically (changing their transposition value) by dragging them with the mouse. Watch

the help tag during these procedures to see the exact transposition value and bar

position of that particular event.

If you hold Control-Option-Command while clicking in the Transposition track, a text

field will open, allowing direct entry of the desired transposition value. After pressing

Return, a transposition event of the typed value will be created at the clicked position.

To delete a transposition event, select it by clicking on the node itself (or the line to its

right) and press Backspace, or use the Eraser tool.

Transposition events can be copied using the standard Copy and Paste procedure or by

dragging them with the mouse while holding Option.
