Transpose by key doesn't calculate interval correctly

Steps to reproduce bug
1. Open promenade demo
2. Notes > Transpose...
3. Transpose by key to "Cb major / Ab minor"

Expected behavior: Notes should transpose up a minor second.

Actual behavior: Notes actually transpose up an augmented unison.

Discussion: The distance between the original key ("Bb major / G minor") and the new key ("Cb major / Ab minor") is 1 letter (Bb to Cb) and 1 semitone. The interval table shows that a "change of note name" of 1 and a "semitone" of 1 corresponds with a "Minor Second".

Transpose to "Cb major / Ab minor" works.

However transpose to "C major / A minor" has similar problems. Expected behavior: notes should transpose up a major second (i.e. 1 diatonic letter, 2 chromatic semitones). Actual behavior: double sharps added to each note (i.e. 0 diatonic letters, 2 chromatic semitones).

There was some confusion about transposing up/down. Rev. 2662 gives it another try. The two above examples now look good as far as i can see.
