Try to be cleverer when transposing for cello.
Jane says: Am most comfortable between the bottom G (the bottom line of the bass clef) and top D (the note above middle C), but can play from bottom C upwards (the C string is a bit growly) and at a push can get as high as the A above middle C.
Implement the following rule:
1. If range is G to d', transpose down 2 octaves.
2. If lowest note is < C, transpose down 1 octave.
3. Otherwise calculate the distance above d for the highest note on a one
octave transposition, and the distance below G on a two octave
transposition. Find the smallest, and use the corresponding
transposition.
