Transposition

Author: BGBG

I do not have formal music training and experience but just what I could pick up on my own in my guitar, mandolin, banjo, and clarinet experiences. Never played professionally except to occasionally sit in band a few times as substitute for sick member in my teens.
I somewhere learned transposition by writing the scale notes across a page that song or piece was written in and then writing the scale I desired underneath it, then wrote out the new piece note by note on a sheet of staff paper. I do not do a lot of this but have done a good bit over time and wondered if there were an easier way to go about this many years since I began doing it. Maybe someone could give me some tips. I used it mainly to make pieces easier to play rather than take trouble to lean them as written, and it was cheaper than purchasing specific music in specific keys IF available. Looks like I am going to do some transposing of some difficult pieces. Lots of notes if seldom played are hard to remember and the little fingers do not stretch where needed. If what I do is still the best way I will continue; if not, maybe someone will suggest an alternative or so. Thanks.
