Hi Bernard, it's nice to meet you! If you're working with MIDI tracks (in Windows), octaves are easy. Right click on the name of the track, click on "Edit MIDI," click on "transpose" for the dropdown menu.

If you only wish to transpose part of the track, then I think you probably have to go to the Editable Notation window. What I would do to avoid that--because it's not a fast process, but then maybe I just haven't figured it out yet; still a newbie to BIAB myself--is make a copy of the track, change the octave in the copy, and then delete the rest of it. You can also delete the corresponding area in your original track and then the two will dovetail together with the octave change where you wish it.


Love is always worth the risk.
