Hi, Han-Wen and others. Long time no speak! :-)
Just transpose once so the first note is `c', or `a', or whatever you like,
but consistently. The search engine merely does the same with the request.
No need to store twelve times. And of course, you do not even store the
first note, as it is implied.
