The target key for a song is the singer’s key, and moving a chord sheet up or down while keeping the relationships intact is exactly what transposing means. Doing it by hand on paper invites a wrong chord around every corner.
Transpose chord sheets up or down by semitones, shifting every chord so the progression stays in the same relation. It is the tool for the rehearsal where the song needs to sit a half-step higher.
