You know I quite often get annoyed by this - if I'm recording into a part
that is transposed, the right notes don't pass through so you don't hear
what the pattern is going to sound like until the next time round.
Maybe it would be more logical for the notes passed through to be transposed
by the current PXPos setting.

There's a problem with part transpose as it stands in that it is applied
POST-FTS.
To cut a long story short, it should be selectable, and probably default to
pre-FTS.
If that were the case, I think you'd get the behaviour you want by using
part transpose.
I'll add pre/post selection, and PXPos to thru notes, and post a beta with
it tonight for experimentation.
