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.
