How to fine tune Inspector MIDI Transpose

[Patrick Azzarello]

I'd like to be able to use the transpose selector in the Inspector window to transpose MIDI Tracks up/down (usually an octave to compensate for various sample presets). Unfortunately on higher DPI screens it's really hard to do this by click/dragging the mouse. 

I can't figure out how to enter a value or to "fine tune" the click/drag (e.g., with a controller key like alt-click/drag). 

I've attached the control I'm talking about.

There was a time not so long ago (2-3 years) when you could click on the number and it would allow you to directly type in a semitone value, but that got lost in some version since 2019 or so. I kinda miss it.

However, if you use the square brackets on the keyboard [ & ], it will go +/- 12 semitones per keystroke.

If you have a mouse wheel (I use the ring around my trackball), click in the box to highlight it and you could try to hold <Shift> and roll the wheel up & down. That's the way that I get semitones increments.

Of course; a double click will reset it to 0.

Thank you. The [ ] suggestion did the trick (need to move them up an octave for use in Trillian vs. GM. 

Would be nice to be able to type in (especially negative numbers which don't always work) again.

Appreciate the quick response.

1. Hover mouse over "0" (do not click on it)

2. Use mouse wheel to scroll up or down by octaves

3. Do the same while holding Shift key to scroll by semitones

4. Double-click to return to zero
