I've selected a block of 12 measures, and want to transpose it up a 5th. When I use the Transpose function, it changes the entire song. Is there a way to just do the selected measures?

Thanks!

Yes - it transposes the whole song.

It works for me. Edit-Transpose-from bar 3 to bar 4, transpose from C to Db. Ray

Ah-hah. I thought the 'from' and 'to' meant the key, not the measure range smile Thanks!

Hi Lloyd,

Below is an image to accompany Ray's solution. It's the "Tranpose from ... to ..." that will do the job for you.



All the best,
Noel

P.S. I see you've already worked it out smile I'll leave the graphic up in case others find it useful.

It would be clearer if that flyout said

"Transpose from bar... to bar...".

Perhaps an item for the Wish List.

Good luck!

I don't see the feature in BIAB Mac - is this only on Windows ?

And if on mac - why so hidden from obvious use ?

I'm not on Mac at the moment, but if it don't have that feature you should be able to transpose the whole song, copy just the bars you need, undo transpose, then paste.

Hi,

What Pipeline described is still the best way to do it on a Mac. Transpose the whole song, highlight the bars you wanted transposed, hold down Command, and hit C, Z, V (Copy, undo, paste).

Thanks

Nonchai posted about this in the Wishlist. The Mac version, including the new 2018, does not have Transpose From To. The Windows version does.

This is the BIAB for Windows Forum, so I thought I would mention this so people aren’t further confused by a mention of the Mac version.

I will have to get a Chord Picker Tool for MacBB sorted out as that would be easy to add a button to do that with one click.

Yes, that is an unfortunate oversight to leave that out.

Just came across this thread because I need to transpose 11 sections of a song, each to its own key, on Mac. The quickest way to do it is as Kent suggested while using the shortcut ^+cmd+6 instead of Edit > Transpose > ... (in my case all transpositions are up 1 semitone, and you can also use ^+cmd+5 to transpose down a semitone or ^+cmd+7 for any other transposition interval).

In case it's helpful here's a quick screen capture vid showing the process with multiple key changes, but without shortcuts: https://youtu.be/RuYeIuX6WMM ... just use the shortcuts instead and that will save time.
