You can define capos for used chord diagrams grids in each layout independently. This affects chord diagram shapes and the transposition of capo chord symbols. For example, you might show both main and capo chord symbols in used chord diagrams grids in the voice part layout when creating a lead sheet.
Note
These steps do not affect chord symbols/diagrams in the music or pitches on notation staves/tablature.
Procedure
-
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
-
In the Layouts list, select the layouts for which you want to define capos for used chord diagrams grids.
By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, clicking and dragging across multiple layouts, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.
-
In the category list, click Chord Symbols and Diagrams.
-
In the Chord Diagrams section, change the pitch for Use capo with transposition.
The pitch determines the spelling of capo chord symbols for the corresponding number of half-steps.
