This is indeed a major new feature. Comment: MIDI transposition should be independent of the printout. Example 1: Composer writes a piece in C for singer, solo instrument and piano, notated as it should sound. A performing version is made in which the solo is played on a B♭ clarinet. The instrumental part is transposed up by two semitones to a key with two sharps, but the MIDI should stay the same. Example 2: Composer writes the same piece but notates it right from the start with the clarinet part already transposed. The instrumental part is transposed by no semitones to a key with two sharps, but the MIDI should sound two semitones lower.
