Of course these programs operate as you describe. If you edit a piece in G major
and enter the notes through a MIDI keyboard you have to play E F# G, not
E F G, and I can't imagine an other way. Well I can, but it is like playing a
piano with
a "key" setting so that when you hit the F, an F# sounds if you set the G-major
mode.
