"STAFF RANGE WITHIN EACH SYSTEM" is used to specify`which instruments are to be transposed. For example, if only the second staff`of a five staff system were to be transposed, you would specify the START`value of the staff range as 2, and the STOP value as 2.``TRANSPOSITION SIGNATURES, DIRECTION and INTERVAL are all modified by pressing`the spacebar, or the numeric pad + or - keys. ``First, set the SOURCE SIGNATURE field to match the signature in your document.`If you then specify the TARGET SIGNATURE, the INTERVAL will be set by the`program. You may instead specify the INTERVAL, causing the program to set`the TARGET SIGNATURE. Some intervals would transposed to impossible key`signatures (such as D double flat). When you specify such an interval, the`TARGET SIGNATURE is listed as NOT POSSIBLE.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
