Change project Key and chords?

Posted

Is there a way to quickly change the entire chord progression of a composition to a different Key?

In other words, If I create a project with backing parts for an existing vocal melody, and then want to try the entire project in a different key, is there a simple way to change the key (and chords) to the new key, or do I have to manually re-enter all the new key chords?

I understand that chord inversions and so forth may be changed. That's not an issue.

Just transpose Harmony.You can use the click board for that.

This will not magically switch from major to minor, though. If you need that, transpose to the parallel key (same position in circle of 5th).

Thank you. That sounds like what I'm looking for.

I'll give it a try and get back to you.

O.K.  Finally got it.

go to Progression

R-click on any chord - "Select All"

Click on "Transpose"  - select "up/down"  or  choose new key.

Thanks Supertonic

I didn't know what the Click Board was till I spotted it on one of the new videos,

That's actually very easy. So now I know two ways to do it.
