I am of the opinion that this Capo Feature setting should also have been made song specific.

In bluegrass songs written in the key of 'A', guitar and banjo are normally capo’ed so as to play in 'G' while fiddle and mandolin play in the actual written key of 'A'.

Take the song Salt Creek for example: Common bluegrass song played in 'A'. Guitar and Banjo normally capo 2 to play in 'G' whereas Fiddle and Mandolin play in native 'A' key.

When we utilize the option, it works great. However, if I load my next song, say Foggy Mountain Breakdown, it will sound as if I kept the capo on the instrument. FMB is played in the key of 'G' so banjo and guitar players take the capo off. In BIAB, I have to go in and change the option each time I go from an 'A' song to a 'G' song or from a 'D' song to a 'G' song. If we had the ability to save the capo setting specific to each song, we would not have to change this time and time again.

Many times in my practice sessions, I will play 20-30 songs, many of them traditionally played in keys other than "G" so I am constantly, no pun intended, fiddling with this new option.

Just my observation but this additional step could have been eliminated with a song specific setting in addition to a global option.

Correct me if I am missing something on how to use this new setting.
