I think the authors have dealt with it perfectly. Kept it like it's
meaning. It hasn't taken on a new character at all. Transpose
transposes. It's not going to do my laundry. Nor would I expect it to
want to KEEP the original notes unless I told it I wanted to.........

When technology changes create additional choices, the previous apparently
'undumbed down' choice suddenly becomes confusing without context. This is
such a case. Whatever the meaning of transpose is outside of software, it
takes on a new character, and the authors have to figure out how to deal
with it clearly.
