request: global transpose in semitones

[musikBear]

I would like to sugest a menu item -could logically be in 'Edit'
Feature: 'Transpose project'
The user should be able to select number of semitones + up/dn
The result would be that the complete project would be in a new key/ scale.

IMO the main challenge with this will be coming up with a sufficiently effective way of judging which tracks are drum tracks. EG, is some Sf2 in the B&B being used as a drumkit or as a string backing? I can't think of any way to have LMMS figure this out, which means the user would have to specify which tracks were drum tracks.

You are right! -the same goes for FX ..Perhaps a checkbox on the song-editor items, could be a solution to that. Meaning that only tracks user-marked for transposing (eg tracks with real notes) would be included in the process.

..unrelated -I maked the subsection 'Enhancements' before i posted this, but it ends up in 'Bug-Issues', and with no "Enhancement" label -What did i do wrong

But the Master Pitch is the same as transpose whole project?

[lazerblade]

@Stian except it doesn't account for drums and will screw them up. Also, it
is invisible and a constant modifier as opposed to a visible change, and
therefore when you're writing you have to remember that what you're writing
will be transposed up/down however many semitones.

There is no feasible way for lmms to guess which tracks are meant as "drums" and which aren't. For example, a soundfont can just as easily be a drumkit or a regular instrument.

We could add a checkbox option to instrument tracks such as "ignore master pitch", accessible from the trackops menu.

This transposition idea could move forward now, the checkbox exists in master.
