Sometimes you need retronyms. "Analog watch". "Live recording". "BST-Free".
"Manual transmission".

When technology changes create additional choices, the previous apparently
'undumbed down' choice suddenly becomes confusing without context. This is
such a case. Whatever the meaning of transpose is outside of software, it
takes on a new character, and the authors have to figure out how to deal
with it clearly.
