A worked example for church pianists
Your part is in G. The service needs F.
Move this complete Amazing Grace piano arrangement down a whole step. Keep the melody, rhythm and accompaniment, then check the new part before rehearsal.
G → F · one whole step lower · complete two-page score.
Compare G and F
The interactive player offers Original · G and Needed key · F. Play the pickup and opening four bars, or select the complete 80-second arrangement. Only the opening notation is shown; playback uses 72 BPM and both hands. Changing key or playback mode stops the piano; press Play to start again.

What we checked, and what differs from the source
This is a hypothetical service-key request demonstrated with a genuine PDF reading in our development account. The raw reading had two low bass notes, in printed bars 3 and 7; both were corrected from B to C in the G score. The complete AI transposition then preserved every note and rhythm at exactly −2 semitones. We removed two unsupported title/tempo lines from the AI notation text and set the title through the normal score controls.
The complete arrangement totals 96 quarter-note beats, including the pickup and final partial bar. Ties, triplets and the change from broken chords to chordal accompaniment are retained. Source pedal marks are not reproduced, and layout and some expression differ: this is checked notation, not a facsimile. Piano playback uses a steady selected tempo; it does not follow a singer or model service rubato.
