    To be clear, I want to globally transpose the key of the whole song, in this case from a major key to Dm. Surely this must be possible?! I do *not* want to have to edit every chord symbol individually. (I also am not transposing for Bb or Eb etc instrument, just on piano.) I can see how to transpose major-to-major and minor-to-minor, but not major-to-minor or v.v.
    Thanks.

    Select “Set”, not “Set and transpose”.

    On sheet music, the key signature is reflected by the number of #’s or b’s at the start of the staff. Major keys and their relative minor key display the same key-sig info. C & A-, F & D- etc.
    In iReal pro we can label that distinction.

    “Set” will change/reset the “default” key label of the chart.

    Example: If you have a chart that the author labeled as being in C though you and I might consider it to be in A- and you want to transpose it to D- and iRp only gives you major key choices. If you transpose to F (the relative major for D-) you’ll get what you want. Or you can reset/change/relabel the chart’s current default key from C to A-. Then you’ll have your choice of minor keys for transposition.

    Changing the default key from major to minor will not change/alter any chords in the chart from the way that they were initially entered and saved.
    If a chord was entered and saved as a D, the only way to change it to a D- is to edit that chord individually.

    If you wish to write a “minor version” of a song that is usually played with major chords, I suggest you edit a DUPLICATE of the original chart, edit the title (Mary Had A Little Lamb - minor) and then edit each chord as desired.
