I think transposition is fairly important.

I did add a couple of simple scripts to insert/delete a barline. If you
wanted to do a whole piece moving all the barlines on by one beat I
guess that could be scripted, but that can be done without releasing a
new version of Denemo - we just have to post up a script. I think the
mouse manipulation stuff is enough reason to release (once it is
finished); is there something else that we can get done in the same time
frame - say in a month's time?
