In the PMX command e.g. "K-3+1" the "-3" is the transposition interval and
the second number is the new key.  And, just exactly like it says, you can't
transpose after the piece has started.  If you want the new key to be G you
enter "K+0+1".  Either Barry or M-Tx should RTFM.

I seem to have forgotten the right way to code a key change.  I get the
following error message:
