If you want to play in a certain key on keyboard or guitar but the music is written in another key then you need to transpose, but by how much? TRANSPOSE allows you to enter the true key the music is written in and the key you wish to play in and the app will tell you how much to to set the transpose up or down function on the keyboard or where to put your capo on the guitar.
