RE: Lazy person wants to transpose

Thanks for your answers. I too, can sight - transpose things like pop tunes, jazz standards, etc. What I was interested in was transposing those notey keltic fiddle tunes I play on my C- clarinet, that are already in sharps keys (mostly), and played at fast tempos, so that I could play them on my soprano sax. If you think this is wierd, check out http://www.folkweb.com/einstein and click on the "Disobedience" track to hear a bari sax intro to an Irish jig.

I looked over the smartscore website and decided it was too complicated just to figure out which program I might want to download. Remember, I'm a Lazy Person. Plus, I don't own a scanner yet.

Most of these tunes are 32 bars, with an 8 bar A part and an 8 bar B part, each repeated. Bars 1, 2, and 3 of each A and B part are often repeated in bars 5, 6, and 7 of each part. So, using the cut and paste features of my free Finale Notepad, I can copy the tunes in manually with a minimum amount of work.

Sounds like there would be more work with smartscore.
