function transposechord(chord, amount){
   var scale = ["C","Cb","C#","D","Db","D#","E","Eb","E#","F","Fb","F#","G","Gb","G#",
         "A","Ab","A#","B","Bb","B#"];
   var transp = ["Cb","C","C#","Bb","Cb","C","C","C#","D","Db","D","D#","C","Db","D",
                 "D","D#","E","Eb","E","F","D","Eb","E", "E","E#","F#", "E","F","F#",
                 "Eb","Fb","F","F","F#","G","Gb","G","G#","F","Gb","G", "G","G#","A", 
                 "Ab","A","A#","G","Ab","A","A","A#","B","Bb","B","C","A","Bb","B", 
                 "B","B#","C#"];
   var subst = chord.match(/[^b#][#b]?/g);
   for(var ax in subst){
      if(scale.indexOf(subst[ax])!==-1){
         if(amount>0){
            for(ix=0;ixamount;ix--){
                var pos = scale.indexOf(subst[ax]);
                var transpos = 3*pos-2+3;
                subst[ax] = transp[transpos-1];
                }
            }
       } 
   }
   chord=subst.join("");
}

chord = C/B, amount = 1: C#/C or chord = Gm7, amount 2: Am7
