Mac, I have in the past done some of the things you have suggeted. Problem is that after wrestling with the program, I lose my musical thought.

Mac, you have been posting for a long time, as I recall. Maybe you have an "in" with Peter and can suggest he make this fix. Basically all he has to do is to

1) move the notation ttranspose dropdown to the main screen so it is more convenient and

2) Make sure that when a notation transpose is in effect, the keyboard inpiuts the correctluy transposed chords.

This way, the song always stays in the same key.
