Tranforming maj to min
Hi,
Quite some years ago, a Notation Composer user asked if there was a function to convert maj to min. There was none. In response I worked out the procedure provided below. Perhaps a maj to min function can be added now to the next Composer version. I have found it quite useful, to change for instance 8 bars to min, as an insert to give the vocalist a bit of a breather, as an intro to a song, or to add general interest to an overused song, etc. The procedure I had suggested all those years ago is as follows: 1. Transpose original key to A maj. 2. Change the key signature to C maj. Do not transpose but just change the key. 3. Lower all #. 4. Transpose to original key. 5. Make any adjustments to taste but also to account for the harmonic and melodic modes. Best wishes, Herbert |

Hi,
Just to make sure, in the above post, step 3. Should read: 3. Lower all # by half a step. Herbert |

Hi Herbert,
Thanks for this procedure - this is an excellent short, step-by-step guide that gives a terrific visual cue (the sharps) to show exactly which notes need to be lowered by a half step to achieve the effect. Thanks for sharing this, and it is now on our "to do" list. ttfn, Sherry |
