Ignoring key switches when using transpose function

If I wanted to transpose a group of MIDI notes up or down, doing so will also move the MIDI notes that are performing key switch functions for my sample instruments. This is obviously not a good thing since I'd have to move all of those notes back to their correct places. Is there a way to mark these notes as keyswitches so that Sonar will ignore them when transposing?  

I often create a separate track for keyswitches. That way I can ignore them when working on the track.

That's a good idea, dranck.    Like the OP, I find many problems from keyswitches, transpose being a big one, and inability to use 'lookback' when play starts midway.  
 
So then do you have both midi tracks going to the same midi port & channel?  Any problems from that part of it? 

that's exactly what I do, send both tracks to the same MIDI port and channel and just don't transpose the track with the keyswitches.
 
I didn't think about putting them in a track lane and locking the clip, tho, that's a good tip, brundlefly.

I program my key switches to be lower than my 88 note midi controller (mainly so I don't accidentally hit them during a recording).  So when i want to transpose I head to Piano Roll View and with the smart tool grab all the live notes and xpose.  The key switches are easy to avoid cause they are so low on the graph.
 
I use a Korg micro keyboard i have placed under my monitor to play the key switches.  I try to program all the key switches to be the same, so for example F-1 is legato in all the different libraries.
 
I like the idea of using a separate track and color coding it.
 
I used to have the Select>By Filter that brundlefly suggested programed with a keybind that worked well. Not sure why/when I stopped using that.
   

Jimbo, I like the idea of a separate controller for key switches. Sounds like a useful tip!

Tons of great advice everyone. Thank you!
