[QUOTE="mizmar, post: 500438, member: 7945"] For practical purposes; both the karaoke and sheet music sites in the OP are clear and consistent in labeling the key options as Minor. Believe them. Also the sheet music site presents the sheet music in the selected key - it means you can see if any notes in the melody line - at least on the first page - goes down below B[FLAT]B[/FLAT] and will be unplayable without faffing. So, for an easy life: [LIST] [*]Find a key you like to play in and which is playable on the range of the sax (above low A, not too much altissimo (just me?))[SUP]¶[/SUP] [*]If there's an option of a key of a performance, great otherwise tough. [*]Transpose that two semitones for the karaoke[SUP]¶[/SUP]. [*]Download [*]Off ya go. [/LIST] [SUP]¶[/SUP]if you are not sure, ask here before you buy. Ask specific and actionable questions like "will this be in range" or "is this the right karaoke key for that". Avoid questions like "will this key work with that performances of the moon is in aquarius? " [/QUOTE]
