Entering Notes

Capo lets you easily record the notes you hear in a song using your mouse. You no longer have to keep a notepad at hand to transcribe solos, because Capo lets you save your transcriptions for when you return to learning, or playing, a song later.

The Capo window has two main areas dedicated to the note entry process. These are the spectrogram, and notation, areas. The spectrogram contains a visualization of your music that provides hints for where the notes appear in the song. The notation displays the note entries you have placed on a guitar tab (and, eventually, staff).

You will only enter notes in the spectrogram area, and the notation area will update to reflect the notes you've entered. No entry or adjustments can be done in the notation area.

Often times you'll enter notes that aren't actually being played, or it's a note that's played by a different instrument. The spectrogram can play tricks on you, so be sure to continue using your ear, and clicking the notes in the spectrogram, to verify the notes you hear.
