Not really, but you are close. I thought what your description is so, myself, but I just tried a couple of chromatic scales, and they seem to come out the same. Maybe there are transcription differences, but I don't see them. The major-minor choice IS reflected when one copies music from one key to another. (From a section in Bb Major, copy a Bb scale into a G minor section and a G natural minor scale will result.) Bill, if you don't like the feature, I would suggest that you simply never use the minor key option. If the problem is working on files from others, just check/change the mode (making sure to keep the same notes chromatically) to major before you do any editing. I wish transcription could learn to use some AI - to favor triads, for instance, not just the choices given under under Edit/Enharmonic Spelling - so one could, while in the key of C, play either an Eb or D major triad and have it spelled correctly the first time.
