1. Open score.
2. 'Select All'.
3. 'Transpose...'.

Desired result: 'Transpose by Key' and 'Transpose by Interval' are radio buttons.
Actual result: 'Transpose by Key' and 'Transpose by Interval' are tick boxes.

I was looking at the Transpose window and mocked up an example of how it could look (there might have to be further refinements - not sure about some things):

You may notice that in addition to substituting tickboxes with radio buttons, I've moved some of the options inward.

I'm wondering, though, if we could relocate the entries in the 'Options' section - namely 'Transpose chord symbols' and the droplist for single and double accidentals.

#2: Why ? And how is it related with the main issue?

Regarding the main issue, it's not recommended in UI design to have radio buttons far apart. In my opinion, having radio buttons would be has bad as what we have right now.
The best thing I can come up with for now is a tabbed UI. One tab for "transpose chromatically", one for "transpose diato"/

No activity for over 3 years. It seems nobody is bothered by the checkboxes since I didn't read anything about it in the forum in this time span. I close the issue.
