Attributes
@trans.diat(optional)Records the amount of diatonic pitch shift, e.g., C to C♯ = 0, C to D♭ = 1, necessary to calculate the sounded pitch from the written one. Value of datatype decimal. att.transposition
@trans.semi(optional)Records the amount of pitch shift in semitones, e.g., C to C♯ = 1, C to D♭ = 1, necessary to calculate the sounded pitch from the written one. Value of datatype decimal. att.transposition

Remarks

Diatonic transposition requires both trans.diat and trans.semi attributes in order to distinguish the difference, for example, between a transposition from C to C♯ and one from C to D♭.
