half step
I want to transpose down by a half step.
Is that a minor second or what?
I don't know what all those interval choices mean.

"Yes" or "No"
it depends.
To be fair, the answer is more complicated than that. From G down to F# is indeed a minor second. But from G down to Gb is not - it is an augmented unison. Depending on your reason for doing the transposition in the first place, either of those might be the right choice - or it is also possible neither is correct, and you should actually simply be using the cursor down key to transpose everything down a half step in a way that respects the key (meaning some notes will be transposed down a minor second, others an augmented unison).

Oh my God! My violin teacher (back in the day) let me get away with calling g - g flat a minor second! Now I am too old to learn the correct way!

Pitch wise F# and Gb are enharmonic to each other.
-go to instruments and make sure all the parts that you want transcribed are selected as "visible" by checking the box for each part
-highlight all the notes and parts to be transcribed
- press the down arrow key once
waa laa, down half a step...it keeps the same key signature but the sharps or flats are added to the individual notes themselves in terms of the way it looks but it should all sound a half step lower. :)
Sorry this is 2 years later haha
select all the notes you want transposed(click mouse and shift to end) and then just press the arrow key up or down for half steps!

That doesn't change key signatures though. I would use tools>Transpose... and select minor second if the key change is needed also.
