The PitchModelList is responsible for this. It's one of the issues I have to look at. > Roots are listed F Gb F# G.

As a woodwind player (clarinet Bb/A and altsax Eb) I know the concept of transposing instruments :-) One of the reason I liked to see transposable chords. > Interesting glitch.

I'm using currentKey in NotationStaff::renderSingleElement but for some reason it is sometimes "undefined" instead of the current key. > Select the D chord, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V to paste, and it pastes as an E. > Multi-click to select whole staff, and the chord changes to a D.

Exporting this chord to LilyPond and MusicXML is what I'm current working on. > Might even write a little import filter > to look for this in existing data during file load, and convert those > legacy elements over to the new chords. I had already something similar on my wishlist, but I didn't think of a filter during file load. This might make things even better. > That way we could dump the > export option without losing anybody's legacy work. > The dialog could use memory of what you had chosen previously.

It's definitely going somewhere! Thanks! And thanks for the comments.
