The idea of instant transposition on an instrument PRECLUDES meantone temperaments, for starters. It would only possible in EqualT. in a hypothetical situation that a given transposition causes no hideously hard fingerings. Say, your singer decides to transpose down a semitone from C-major. All your frets are in the wrong places. Better not mention fingerings at all... One may pull such a thing off on an ET instrument, such as baroque guitar, but on a multistring instrument this would be pure BS, in any temperament. Cheers, RT
