IOW...

I have a track with two or more layers and want to transpose just one of the layers leaving the other layers as is.

In attempting to work around this, I tried to find a way to extract the layer I wanted to transpose* and then transpose it in a
"holding" or temporary measure, then merge it back to the original. No dice there either.

Not a big deal, and I'd rarely use it, but I was wondering if it is even possible.

Thanks.

* - extraction was accomplished by copying the measure and using Speedy Entry to simply delete the layer I didn't want to transpose.

If you "Show Active Layer Only" doesn't it just transpose that layer?

"Show Active Layer Only" seems to be the topic du jour.
