In classical symphonic music, a pair of horns was generally used for pieces in a major key, whereas two pairs were used for pieces in a minor key.

Accidentals appeared only very rarely and were written into the score.

Consequently most of the notation for the horn part corresponded to the natural harmonic series in C. The pitch of the horn was indicated in the score and the part was notated in C. Other pitches were very rare, because they could only be produced by stopping which resulted in a distortion of the timbre. In line with the possibilities offered by the natural horn, only notes from a single natural harmonic series were available. In new editions of old scores the horn part is generally rewritten so that the horn in F always sounds a fifth lower. This old style of notation вЂ“ which was known as вЂњhigh bass clefвЂќ вЂ“ is no longer usual today. Sometimes it seems to not like changing both 3 and 4 note chords at the same time, while other times it is fine with it.In many 19th century scores the horn part, which was written in bass clef for low notes, was written a fourth lower than it sounded. If you find you canвЂ™t transpose all the chords at once, you might be able to do it in two or three groupings. In any case it seems you can always transpose any chord individually from the info line, independent of auto-scroll being on or off. For example yesterday it let me change the 4 C chords in bar 2 to F, but in bar 5 wouldnвЂ™t let me change 4 C chords to F (at this point I yelled at the monitor вЂњbut you just let me change the exact same thingвЂќ ). I canвЂ™t see any pattern to when it wonвЂ™t work. With auto-scale turned off 80-90% of the time the info line changes work, but sometimes they wonвЂ™t take. So IвЂ™m not transposing chords, but rather selecting 4 chords here or 2 chords there and changing the root, major/minor, 7ths etc. To do this I copy a bunch of C chords on each quarter note and modify them using the info line (faster) when I can and the Chord Editor when I canвЂ™t (typically because some items are available in the editor but not the info line, like setting a 9th). IвЂ™ve been using the info line to modify chords in the Chord Track quite a bit recently since IвЂ™m reading a book about chord progressions and using the track to check out examples. So I turned off the auto-scale and often, but not always this resolved the problem. But if the selected chords were in different keys none of the chords could be changed. I noticed that if I selected chords that did not cross scale change boundaries I could change them all from the info line.

When it is on if you use a chord that is not fully consistent with the current scale (for example a major minor substitution) Cubase will change the scale to whatever it thinks best to accommodate the problem chord. I had auto-scale turned on in the inspector. I was having serious problems with this and then noticed that it seems to interact with the scale being shown. вЂ¦edit: Steve, were you saying that sometimes it didnвЂ™t work for you either? вЂ¦EDIT: Strike thatвЂ¦ itвЂ™s working now (IвЂ™ll investigate furtherвЂ¦) ThatвЂ™s precisely the problemвЂ¦ it doesnвЂ™t work with a multiple selection. Select all chords on the chord track, use the drop-down menu in the info line to change the вЂњRoot KeyвЂќ selected chords are transposed
