SQ64 as 4 channel drum sequencer

[soundsubs]

Hello All!
(new-ish) SQ64 user here.
I am using it exclusively for programming the 4x channels of a Division Dept 01/IV drum module.
I would like to set it up to default like this:
Track A= Always MIDI note C0
Track B= Always MIDI note D0
Track C= Always MIDI note E0
Track D= Always MIDI note F0
(For Track D I realize I must choose the drum every time, so DRUM A1 is note F0)

all of the above are mostly just simple GATEs for XOX programming.
I went through the setup, Track by Track to get it going, and it's great for this as a simple 4 track sequencer.
Unfortunately, when you CLEAR a Track, it also wipes the Transpose/Note assignment.

Has anyone got a good way to solve this?
I've tried using Transpose, etc, but this gets wiped with a CLEAR
It seems that this CLEAR action reverts it back to note C2 on each Track?
