Not really an answer, but I notice looping a small fragment - a bar, or
half a bar - until I hear what is being played - works better than
slowing down the original.

Adobe Audition 1,5 is similar to and derived from CoolEdit Pro 2.0.
AA1.5 should
work the same or very close to this:

First, use your mouse to select the entire song in the Edit View Mode.
Then,

In CoolEditPro2.0, similar to AA1.5, Effects >>> Time/Pitch >>> Pitch
Bender

Click on FLAT then Quality Level >>> Perfect.

Choose either semitones or BPM (beats per minute), fill in the range
number
with a small percentage, ie BPM: 2, or semitones: 1 to 3, or more.

This sets up the graph at the top.

Then drag the endpoints up or down - adjust both to the same value to
maintain
constant pitch change value over the selection.

Preview and reset the endpoints as desired. Do a small section of the
song first
in order to check it out. When you find the desired value of pitch
change, click
on CLOSE, to hold the values in the dialogue box, go back to your song
file,
select the entire file, then open up the dialog box again and hit
OKAY.

If you do a lot of transcribing, I recommend Transcribe! from
http://www.seventhstring.com/

It doesn't particularly offer functions that aren't found in Audition
or other wave editors. But it presents those needed for transcribing
music in a very convenient manner. For instance, all the good wave
editors offer frequency analysis. But Transcribe! relates frequency
peaks to a piano keyboard display, and even attempts a guess at the
harmony.

There's a time-limited full demo version. And then it's cheap to buy.
Give it a try.

Yep, tried out the demo and it works great! slows down the tempo while
keeping the correct pitches. Even quess at the right lead sheet symbols,
thanks LP
