In response to Craig Smith's request for help I include an empty CAL template that can be easily adapted to change any one scale to an other. Some explanation is included. If needed, I can provide any CAL program.
As CAL is limited, not all edits imaginable are possible. That's why I am now working on MIDI-FX, a feature in Cakewalk (that is supposed to work on other music programs if supported) that has many more possibilities, including non-destructive (real-time) editing. This means that the MIDI track is processed in real-time before output, so that you can hear the result without changing the actual track. Changing the actual track can then be done at any time by pressing a button.
This is, for example, very handy if you want to work in real-time on an organ that has a drum set. These notes must be forwarded in time. So you can put them on the exact musical spot, and the MIDI-FX will offset the timing for you in real time.

;Leeg template CAL programma om noot nummers te veranderen. ;Empty template CAL for changing note numbers. ;Zet een ..... om naar een ..... (vul in) ;Changes a .....key to a .....key organ (fill in) ;Hoe dit Cal programma invullen?: ;Het eerste cijfer in elke zin is de noot die veranderd zal worden ;Op het einde van elke zin, net VOOR het sluitend haakje, vul je de ;noot in welke het moet worden. Voorbeeld: ; 18 (= Note.Key 115) ;Dit wil zeggen dat noot 18 veranderd wordt in noot 115. ;Als nu bv. noot 18 weg moet in plaats van een andere noot te worden, ;doe je het volgende: ; 18 (delete) ;(delete) wil zeggen verwijderen in het Engels. ;Denk eraan dat in computer de eerste noot 0 (nul) genoemd wordt. ;Dus de eerste noot (het dichtst tegen de giet) is noot 0. ;De tweede noot is noot 1, enz. ;Van de noten waarmee niets gebeuren moet, MOET je de hele zin verwijderen. ;How to use this CAL program?: ;The first digits in the sentence is the note that you want to change ;On the end of the sentence, just BEFORE the closing bracket, you must input ;the note # to which you want to change the note. Example: ; 18 (= Note.Key 115) ;This means that note # 18 is changed to note # 115 ;If a note must be deleted in stead of changed, do the following: ; 18 (delete) ;You can insert extra notes if needed.
