G is the 4th of the D scale; therefore, or 5 one-half steps up.
From D to E os raising 1 WHOLE (2 one-half) step(s).
I hope that is the answers you were looking for @Archie?

Thanks Will I’ll give that a try, Not sure if TablEdit does half steps. It mentions intervals and I am not too savvy on music theory.

Ok… I am in TablEdit and so… I will take a peek at the transpose feature…
Also… The D to G is 2.5 whole Steps…
@Archie, did you see?.. While practicing to get my entry in… my 5th string tuner finished cracking, splitting and giving way…
My cheap, beginner Banjo is KAPUT - no entry from me this time.
Once I start my new job, I think @Jake will be getting a call for a RK or a Twanger.

Hi Will, Sounds terrible so not sure how this feature works.

Hi Will I have it partially figured it out. I am able to transpose one note but with multiple notes it produces weird results so it doesn’t solve my need which is to transpose an entire tune. Bit of a bummer.

@Archie, I have not tried it but you should try the Using Fingering:
From Fret:
To Fret:
From D to G, you would move Up 5 frets. From D to E, You would move 2.
Just make sure to check the box to Transpose all Modules.

I tried all the modes. Just can’t get it so I gonna leave it for now. Maybe @BanjoBen or @Mark_Rocka can come up with a solution

D to G is a perfect 4th and D to E is a 2nd.

I had provided @Archie the intervals too… but I think his real question is how to use the transpose feature in TablEdit… as one of the options was to use intervals.
I am not sure if @Archie got it figured out but I was trying to lend a helping 
to provide a solution. 
Hi @BanjoBen & @WillCoop Thanks for this. Late last night I was having a hard time trying to transpose a section of TAB from D to G and from D to E. all I knew was I needed to change the number of intervals. But I was being a little over ambitious and tried transposing multiple modes.
With a clear head this morning I figured it out and finally got the results I was aiming for. Job Done 
Just whilst I am on this topic. Is there a chart ( a quick guide) that shows all note transitions?

Thanks Ben that’s brilliant !!! Removes any doubt and so simple to see it charted out.

Bringing this back to TablEdit. In the transpose menu, the “intervals” are half steps. Do note:
you have to set the desired measures to apply the transposing 
. The default is only the current measure. I suspect that is why you got the weird results. It works, but is not real intuitive and can make a mess of things. One other feature I find handy is under Score|Instrument|Tuning tab|Capo. Depending on what you want to do, that is sometimes the right tool instead of “transposing”

Thanks Mike, I got it in the end. What my goal was, was to take a harmonica solo and mash it between to banjo breaks, The problem was I had these tabbed out in the Key of G and E but the harmonica tab was in D. I have never transposed anything before so it was a steep learning curve. Pleased to say the end result was good. Now the work starts on learning the backup. I already have the banjo breaks nailed. The transpose works fine so long as you highlight the section you need to transpose. I should say the tabbed section was just the basic melody. Not sure how it would work over banjo licks. But that’s a task for another day.
