Why transpose_arrangement_notes is rated Medium
Transposing arrangement notes modifies existing note pitch data in Ableton Live's arrangement view. This is a reversible write operation (notes can be transposed back). The description is empty, which lowers confidence, but the name strongly implies pitch modification of existing notes. Severity is medium as misuse could alter musical content but it's reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'transpose_arrangement_notes' and sibling tools like 'add_arrangement_notes' and 'add_notes' suggest modification of MIDI note data in an arrangement.
