Description

Your idea

I'm constantly changing "Use double sharps and flats" to single ones when transposing. Can the default be changed? Or can users set the default? Or can it simply default to what it was the last time the tool was used?

Problem to be solved

Every time I transpose something I have to change the option from the default of double sharps/flats to single ones. I would imagine that I'm in the majority in terms of people who prefer to not see double sharps/flats (but I can't substantiate that claim).

Prior art

Transpose

Additional context

It would be wonderful if this small annoyance could be changed.

Research direction

Start by locating the Transposition tool and its “Use double sharps and flats” option. Confirm with maintainers whether the intended behavior is a single-sharp/flat default, a configurable preference, or remembering the last choice; done means the agreed behavior is implemented and can be verified through repeated transpositions.
