It is also important to transpose the music properly for the bell voice you will use to play it back. Automated chimes and carillons are always transposed to ring the largest bell on middle C, or C4 (Midi note 60) regardless of their true pitch. Millennium Cast Bronze carillon voices range from C3 to C8. Millennium Chime and harp selections use a split keyboard with the harp from C3 to Bb5 and the chime from B5 to C8. Notes above and below these ranges are prohibited.

Some users have noticed that stacking lots of notes in fast changing chords will overload the playback engine of the carillon or bell controller that results in a slowdown of playback tempo. ~~Slightly skewing the notes~~ will avoid this slowdown without a noticeable change of arrangement.
