Suggestion: Add an option to shift the highlighted notes of a scale when changing the key instead of shifting the entire piano roll

This would be helpful for changing key mid-song, where right now it's extremely tedious to try to do it while keeping the scale highlighting.

A song can have many keys so that complicates things. You don't always know in advance in what key something is gonna be either.

I think the key option should only be for checking flats/sharps, highlighting the note, and it shouldn't change the notes.

I always leave the "key" on C and scale on "expert" but it's not a correct way of using it I guess.

I was referring to how changing key will literally shift the keyboard to fit the highlighted but none of the notes along with it, causing the entire song to be pitch shifted. Here's what I'm suggesting, as precise as I can think to: An option in preferences that, when enabled, will make it so when I change key, the C piano key for example will keep it's position on the piano roll, but the piano roll highlighting itself will shift to the new key.
