Anything to expand capabilities here would be nice.  I've been
daydreaming about transposing not only the key, as you are doing,
but also the mode.  For that I think one would have to specify
the current key and current mode, and then the target mode.  For
instance, current key is C, current mode is major, and I want to
transpose into minor (although Phrygian mode is more likely for
me).

Thanks....
