Changing key in the middle of a track

Hi Guys.. I'm working on a single midi piano track which is played on my keyboard in the key of C. After 64 bars I would like to shift the key to C#. Is it possible to play the whole piece in the key of C on my keyboard and shift bar 65 onwards up a semitone in HS6 to avoid me playing the rest of the piece in C#?? Key/meter change seems only to affect the score view not the actual notes themselves. Am I expecting too much here?

    yes, very easy to do.  in the PRV (piano roll view) highlight all of the MIDI notes from bar 65 on.  then right click on an area of the PRV where a note is not sitting and choose MIDI FX>CAKEWALK>TRANSPOSE
    a window will pop up which will give you options on how to transpose.  choose changing chromatically by 1/2 step and click OK.
