Hiding/Showing capo chord symbols

You can show only main chords, only capo chords, or both in chord symbols on a per-player basis. For example, if you want to show both for the guitar player but only main chords for the singer.

Note

Chord diagrams always reflect the capo set for the player.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, select a player in the Players panel for whom you want to hide/show capo chords in chord symbols.
  2. In the action bar, click Player Settings and choose one of the following options:

    • To show only main chords, choose Chord Symbols > Show Main Chord Symbol for Capo.

    • To show only capo chords, choose Chord Symbols > Show Transposed Chord Symbol for Capo.

    • To show capo chords above main chords, choose Chord Symbols > Show Capo Chord Symbol Above Main.

    • To show capo chords below main chords, choose Chord Symbols > Show Capo Chord Symbol Below Main.

    Tip

    You can also right-click players and choose these options from the context menu.

Result

Main and/or capo chords are shown in chord symbols, according to the instrument staves and layouts set to show chord symbols for the selected player. By default, capo chords appear in italics when shown alongside main chords.

In layouts where chord symbols are only shown above the top staff in each system, the visibility of main/capo chords in chord symbols is determined by the setting for the player at the top of each system.

Example
