Tips and Tricks, yes. This is unusual enough that it would help to document it.

In my very first rock band, when I was in junior high school, the first song we learned, was a Duane Eddy-ish versoion of Peter Gunn. We learned it in record key, F, but the guitarists had a difficult time so they tuned their guitars a half step high, so they could use the low E open string to be the F in the background figure.
We learned some songs, and I learned to recognize barre chords by the hand positions on the guitar necks. That wasn't a problem until I got in another band. They tuned to the conventional E A D G B E tuning, and I had to learn the same hand positions were different chords.
To complicate the issue, when the sax needs to be transposed. In the old way, when the guitar chord was E I played the sax in G, in the normal way, when the chord is E I played in F#.
Wow! That was a looooong time ago. Thanks for the memory, I hadn't thought about those old friends in many years.

Both Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan are famous guitar players who tuned down their guitars 1/2 step.
With Hendrix it was more for his vocal range. Stevie Ray used fairly heavy strings which were easier to bend a 1/2 step lower.

I finally got around to trying Audio Track's solution to this issue. It worked great; however, unfortunately once I applied the transpose function, I discovered that the program has transposed all my songs. So it is a universal adjustment rather than song specific. This makes it very difficult to use on a regular basis.

I don't suppose that freezing everything and then removing the transpose would retain it for just the one song?

No, frozen tracks are also transposed. So, for now the solution is to do one song at a time and then convert to MP3 or Wav.
But it does work. Thanks again Audio Track.
