Transposition
Scores are written using the key of the instrument. So if the melody you are looking at is being played in the French Horn (written in the key of F) and you play the clarinet (written in the key of Bb), you will need to transpose the part. Music notation software will do this for you. All you have to do is write the melody on a French Horn line, then copy and paste it to a clarinet line, and the software will take care of it, but you need to be aware and DOUBLE CHECK. Use the table below to help you make sure the notes are correct.
