# Moving Around in a Song

One of Capo's greatest strengths is its movement controls. While learning a song, it is essential that you can jump to important parts, and go back to repeat what you just heard.

### To move playback forwards and backwards, do one of the following

- Click the fast-forward, or rewind button in the main window
- Use the right and left arrow keys on your keyboard

In conjunction with the markers, Capo's movement controls become even more powerful, as you can quickly jump to an exact point that you are interested in hearing again.

## Jumping around using the markers

Markers allow you to quickly move to key points of the song while you're learning. For example, if you're trying to learn the first chord of the verse, you would typically do the following:

- Jump to the first verse marker
- Play the song until the first chord ends
- Stop the music, remembering what you heard
- Search for the right chord on your instrument
- Jump back to the verse marker again
- Play the song, checking the chord you just figured out

#### Jumping between markers:

- While holding down the option key, press the left or right arrow on your keyboard to jump to the previous or next marker, respectively.

Because you will undoubtedly drop plenty of generic markers to indicate specific notes, or sub-sections, of complex parts, the high-level structure of the song may become difficult to jump around. Capo allows you to jump between high-level structure of the song using a modified keystroke.

#### Jumping between high-level (chorus, bridge, verse) markers:

- While holding down the option and command keys, press the left or right arrow on your keyboard to jump to the previous or next high-level marker, respectively.

#### Jumping to the extremes of the song:

- While holding the command key, press the left or right arrow on your keyboard to jump to the start or the end of the song, respectively.

A handy use of the movement commands is to set loops around sections of the song using your keyboard. For instance, you could hold down the option key and use the right arrow to find a marker to start your loop at. Then, hold down the shift and option keys while pressing the right arrow to set a loop to the next marker.

#### Setting up a loop using the movement commands

- While holding the shift key, use any of the movement commands as described above
