Find a capo position for the whole song, not just one chord. Capo Arranger ranks shape sets for your Songboard while keeping the sounding harmony, sections and beat counts unchanged. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Studio and choose or create a Songboard. Use Arrange whole song with capo in the toolbar. 2. Compare capo frets 0–7 by default, or adjust the range up to fret 9. 3. Select an option and read the sounding chord, played shape and six-string fingering for every event. Frets are relative to the capo. 4. Share the complete arrangement as text with the original section and beat context. Your saved Songboard is not edited. Use the existing guitar listening, tuning, chord-library and Songboard tools to build and rehearse your ideas locally. WHAT TO KNOW Standard EADGBE tuning only. Shapes are checked against each sounding chord pitch class and the supported fret range. Ranking uses a beat-weighted effort heuristic, not a guarantee of comfort. Try the shapes on your instrument and check tuning after fitting a capo. An unavailable shape is disclosed rather than substituted. Built for iPhone and iPad. No account required for this workflow.
