In the transpose dialogue box check "preserve original notes." Then
transpose by an octave and you'll get the old and the new pitches.
How counterintuitive is that? It never would have occurred to me to
notice that.
While I'm not quite sure that having it in plain view in the transpose
dialog (and having been there for many years now) is counterintuitive, I
would say that trying to figure out how to find such a thing in the FM
is possible.
Not knowing what it's called or where it's located, how would you
suggest we find it in the FM? There's no entry in the index for "Keep
Original Notes," there's no entry in the index for "Preserve Original
Notes," there's no entry for "Add Notes At The Octave" and there's NO
entry under "Transpose" in the index at all for either Keep or Preserve
Original Notes.
I hope you're not suggesting that every time we need to find something
we have to read the whole FM to be sure to eventually run into whatever
it is we're looking for!
But until MakeMusic comes up with a real index, RTFM is a useless
suggestion, unless you also include the page reference or at least the
Chapter, Heading to try to find it under.
