I'm having difficulty charting a song with a capo and I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.

 

The song is played with a capo on the 3rd fret, In EOF I've set the capo position to the third fret, and Rocksmith correctly has me install the capo during tuning. That's about as far as it works.

 

Chords appear correctly but are not listening for the right notes for open strings. For example, an Am-shaped chord like x02210 at the third fret appears in-game as xo443o (o being open strings) and should be listening for x35543. However, the game is listening for me to play x04430, as in playing the actual open strings WITHOUT the capo installed on the guitar.

 

I can remove the capo and play the song as indicated on the screen and it registers all the chords correctly but obviously sounds dreadful.

 

Chords without open strings work fine, and individual open string notes register correctly. Only chords with open strings fail to work properly.

 

I'm using the latest EOF and tooklit 2.6.0.0.

Anyway I recently turn wonderwall to custom(recreated sng with no xml change) and I was able freely pick those chords without capo, so I guess @@shrubbery, know that we not count capo while we write MIDI note value.. that good guess and probably that how it works..

I'm sorry about that, I just copy and pasted the link from my FTP without testing them. They should be good to go now.

No rush. I have a change in my repository that should fix MIDI values: https://github.com/otaznik/rocksmith-custom-song-toolkit@@raynebc XML is fine, nothing needs to be changed. It seems RS adjusts single notes in runtime but they depend on included MIDI values for chords.

Added fix to main repo, I had no @@shrubbery' git mail so avatar not match, but its up now., feel free to test with it..@@Aquilae

Awesome. I'm at work and I don't think I have the relevant project on my laptop but I'll certainly give it a shot as soon as I have the chance.

I gave the update a shot and it looks like it works now. Great!

 

Thanks for your help.

I will try this with Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist which was not working with chord at all !

glad you guys figured it out, havent been home much lately to look into anything.

I eventually repacked my song http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/thoughts-of-a-dying-atheist-r1168 and it's working perfectly. Thank you so much for this fix !

This does seem to work much better now.  I can stop avoiding capo arrangements now.  Thanks!
