The SongSelect music player, for hymn sheets and lead sheets, now has a new feature. The SongSelect music player controls now allows the music to be transposed to not only the desired key but also the desired octave. The previous transposition feature of the SongSelect player limited transposition to a half octave above and below the original key, as close as possible to the original key.

Here's the new version of the player controls for the song transposition:

The new enhancement offers a much broader range of transposition. It will be a helpful addition to the options within SongSelect!
