You know, that's an interesting point. If the midi standard had drum kits be
regular patches just like everything else, then they could theoretically be
on any track. Since most synths only support drums on track 10 anyway and
mangle them up when they are on other ones. Good to point that out, though.
The only reason I pointed that out is because keyboards wont' transpose drum
tracks, I thought qws could do it the same way.

Raymond Grote happened to mention in passing:
I have a suggestion for the next version of QWS. If you have "apply to
all tracks" checked and you want to transpose, let the drum tracks stay.
If they must be transposed, only they, should be selected by the user.
What do you think?
Just mute the tracks you don't want transposed or affected at all. It's
always been like that well, as long as I care to remember. that was a
suggestion implemented by me some years ago.
Apply to all tracks forgets any that are muted, and exactly how is qws to
know what are drum tracks and what are not drum tracks, anyway?
In this day and age where you can put drum tracks on pretty much all 16
channels these days, QWS isn't going to know what is what. Only with the
XG and GS standard are you forced to use track 10 and only track 10,
unless with xg you use bank 16256, and with GS, send the correct SysX
message so you can use but one other track.
Won't work I'm afraid. You would have to put none percussive tracks and
percussive tracks into a different category in QWS and that would also
have to be another feature, and all it would do is serve to help you not
to transpose. I can't see of any other use for it at this time. That
would be just another thing in the track properties dialog. Drum track or
melodic track, some kind of radio button, but it isn't useful in the
least.
Hate to sound disappointing or anything.
