Change Key without Transposing

Hey,
Do any of you know how to change the key of a garageband project WITHOUT transposing it? I marked the key of my song incorrectly to begin with, and I want to change it...
Thanks

Here's a trick: Select all your regions, cut them out (Apple-X), change the song's key, paste in your regions (Apple-V). Make sure the cursor is at the correct position.

Hey!
I tried that, and it worked fine for the loops and software instruments, but the real instrument tracks were still transposed (which, btw, sounded awful cause there were now two different keys.
Any other ideas?

The only fix I can think of is select all the real regions and transpose them back to their original key using the slider in the Editor window. They should sound fine then as they are played in their original pitch.
