G'day Tim,

One way: first part = select the sequence(s) you wanna transpose and 
adjust the Transpose parameter in the Sequence Parameter Box (near the 
top left of the Arrange window).

This, as you've noted, only transposes the notes non-destructively, i.e. 
for display and playback purposes. So, next step = normalize the 
sequence(s). This can be done with a key command (default = N) or 
Arrange window -> MIDI -> Region Parameters -> Normalize (with a few 
options if desired).

Another way (there're usually a few ways t'do things in Logic) is to 
select all the sequences that need to be transposed, open a Transform 
window (main Windows menu, or default key command = Command-4) and do 
the same as you've been doing one track at a time from an editor window.

HTH.
