Transpose

Note on Printing a Transposed Score.

In order to print a score that you have transposed into a key that is different from the default or original key in which the score is set at purchase, follow the directions below, and then PRINT the score. Be sure you have chosen the correct key. If you bought only one print right, you will only be able to print a single copy.
