@k · @~k Transpose

@k moves a figure by k semitones. @~k moves it by k steps of the current scale, so it stays in the key.

  • Negative values go down: @-12 is an octave lower.
  • A written accidental rides along with @~: a raised fourth stays raised.
  • Drums and rests do not move.
  • After a rule, the mark covers the whole expansion.

Chromatic against diatonic: the same k, two different figures.
