Are these the commands on a PC or Mac?

played? My keyboard (which a friend has given me) stops two
octaves above
middle C and I like writing my violins and flutes higher. Is
there any way
to do this or do I just play an octave lower and transpose up?

No, whatever MIDI note you play is what gets input (even for
transposing
instruments, BTW). But you can make it really really easy to
transpose by
octave by defining Mass Edit metatools. Four are available, on the
6, 7, 8,
and 9 keys. Select the Mass Edit tool, hold shift + the number key
you want
to define, and select your transposition. For years I've been
using 6 and 7
as up/down octave, and 8 and 9 as up/down octave while retaining
original
notes. Of course you can define them as any tranpositions you
want, but I
find these incredibly useful.
