hymn and children sheet music transposition tool

Is the transposition tool [to adjust the key of hymns and other materials on the LDS site] no longer available? It used to require Flash, which is no longer. If this option to transpose hymn and other sheet music is available, please post the link. TIA Dave Elliott

The Flash-based interactive sheet music player on the Church website is no longer available, and there's no replacement yet; however, developers are working on a new iteration of the music website, parts of which are being A/B tested. The updated music website will include a new interactive sheet music tool similar to the previous one; but I don't know what the timeline is. Music website improvements may be released a little bit at a time.

Thank you for posting this update on the interactive music player (transposer). I have been trying to find out what the new plan was since the Flash player expired. This is a very useful tool for beginning organists. We are able to transpose to a more manageable key and then change the key back to a singable range using the organ transpose dial.

Is it possible to get on the list to help beta test this new developing feature?

Very keen to have the same tools available as before - transposition as well as listening to parts were very useful and time-saving. Thank you

Yes! I used the transposition tool frequently, and hope it will return! I would be happy to be a beta tester.

I am anxiously awaiting an update where we can use the transpose tool again! That is an invaluable tool, especially for higher-ranged Hymns to transpose into a more manageable singing range. When can we expect to have a transpose function again?

That is a common question asked for much of Church technology development. Unfortunately we rarely are given a time schedule. And because the forum is user-to-user help and support there is likely no one here who can give a hint.

Just adding my voice to how useful that tool is. I'd also be happy to be a beta tester. Also I did notice one time what I was quite sure was an error in a transposed version of a hymn (the sharp or flat was missing from a note if I remember correctly - something like that) so, developers, don't assume that a perfect match to what the old tool output was 100% certain to be correct. That's got to be very tricky program - my hat's off to you developers!

May I please try out the new tool to transpose music? I could really use it. Thank you

Me too! If there is a way to get the beta transposition tool, i'm ready!

May I please please please please please use the beta transposition tool to transpose music? Please. I really really really really need it. Thank you

In desperate need for this tool to work for any church musician to save day’s worth of time to transpose when it used to be so easily available…no thanks to Adobe flash player being discontinued for 6 months. Willing to test anything, too.

Please bring it back. We music / choir / primary music directors use it more than you would imagine. In the mean time does anybody know of an ap or program that would transpose sheet music like that? Thank you for all of your work!

I liked the ability to focus on parts, tenor for me, as well as the auto-scroll feature. In fact, for our ward conference this Sunday I am tasked with providing music for our streamed sacrament meeting. We are currently in covid-19 lock down and cannot meet as a congregation at the chapel, hence we are streaming. I need to provide music for members to sing along to in their homes and the auto-scroll feature is very helpful for members to follow along with. If I can get an early copy/access to the new interactive music player, or alternative, that will be really helpful.
Thanks

I would really like to the transposition tool. Hopefully it will be available soon!

There's now an interactive sheet music feature at SingPraises.net. For example, if you go to the English hymnbook:
https://singpraises.net/collections/en/hymns
From there, you can click "View song" next to a song, then click "Sheet Music (Interactive)." It allows you to transpose the music, turn individual parts on and off, etc.

This is my personal website, and is not an official Church resource. However, I hope that it might be helpful to some of you until the new Church tool is available.

My wife received an email from the church today that the new interactive player is released, which allows you to change the tempo, transpose to a different key, play only certain parts, etc.
1. Go to the main church music site: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/music/library/hymns
2. Select the hymn you would like to work with.
3. Just below the sheet music, select the blue "Switch Player" button

Hope this helps everyone, but I noticed it is not available for the children's hymnbook.

This is great! Interestingly, my account happened to be in Spanish when I took a look, and I noticed that the "Switch Player" option isn't available for hymns in Spanish like it is in English. I'm guessing it's at least in progress for Spanish and Portuguese, and perhaps other languages as well.

We'll likely never know if the "community feedback" played a role in getting this to happen, or if it was always part of "the plan" that we simply never heard about...

For those who have put the time and effort into making this happen, thank you very much. It is so appreciated.
I look forward to the possibility of this happening for the children's songs...it is so difficult to reach those high notes as an adult.

Go back three posts before yours to the post by sbradshaw. His website will transpose children's songs. The link takes you to the Hymn section. From there, go back up and then go down into the Children's music section.

Ditto! I too would be delighted to do beta testing. Let’s get this rolled out, soon.

Are there plans to eventually make this tool available when using Safari on the Mac?

Has there been any update on the transposition tool? The last post I see on here is 2021.
