still makes no sense to me! maybe if the documentation explained how to use the capo feature that would help or perhaps someone here can explain it to me. but I feel it would still be counter intuitive because guitarists already know how a capo works!

1) I pick up my guitar and play a C shape and I hear a C chord
2) I place a capo at the 4th fret and play a C shape and I hear an E chord

1) in BIAB I enter a C and I hear a C chord (so far so good!)
2) in BIAB I place a capo at 4th fret but now the chord displayed changes to Ab and I still hear a C chord...WTH?

I don't get this at all! I would prefer it not change the displayed chord at all and instead change the sound like capos work on a guitar. But even if that is not possible why does it display an Ab and not an E when I start with a C and then capo to 4th fret like it would on a guitar?

But maybe it's just me! Admittedly I am no music expert.




the problem solved by this feature is that guitarists using a capo have a hard time following the chord sheet, because the chords on it are different than the capo chords being played. When I see a C chord on the chord sheet, my hands automatically go to that position.

So, this feature lets you transpose the CHORD CHART to match the chord positions you are playing (not the key)

Therefore you can see a C in the chord chart and play a C position chord even though the song is not in the key of C

The problem you are having is because you are entering the chords first THEN changing the capo setting. If you set the capo first THEN enter the chords you are playing, it will be right
