Hi Robert,

As you know, 6 and 7 are pre-programmed for down/up a diatonic step, and 8/9 
are pre-programmed for down/up an octave. It works on music selected with the 
selection tool.

I just tried a variety of things to reprogram those metatools, and, for Mac, 
shift-command-number (6-9) brings up the transposition dialog box, letting you 
reset the metatool to any transposition you like. The reprogramming is 
application wide, not file specific.

I nearly missed figuring this out because of an annoying habit of 14.5. After 
doing the reprogramming (or any number of other things), the file window with 
all the music in it recedes to the background (graying out menu items and other 
operations) even though the application itself is forward. You have to click in 
the window to bring it back forward. So, for example, after reprogramming a 
transposition metatool, it seems as if nothing has happened until you click in 
the music window to make it active.
