I have a song I want to do that the tab has a capo on the first fret but theres no chords its all single notes and id prefer to make it without a capo.  Does anyone know how many frets I increase the notes by to act like a capo is on? I would think you could play a song like that by just increasing what fret the note is played on.

The reason i ask is the tab says put capo on first fret but then it has on the estring open notes and 1st fret notes  which doesnt make sense to me since I thought it would only affect open notes but then playing an open note and 1st fret would make the same sound woudnt it?

It's traditional to treat the capo as the nut position in tablature, so in your example when it says fret 1 it means to play 1 fret away from the capo (ie. what is fret 2 on the guitar).  If you take away the capo, you could just increase all notes' fret values by 1 to compensate (ie. select all notes and use CTRL+plus or CTRL+Scroll up).

Thanks I was tabbing it out for a capo version and I will do your trick to increase the note value for a non capo version.

After all these customs  I just now learn when adding in notes manually I dont have to type in each notes fret number I can just ctrl scroll up.   :wacko: better late than never I guess.

There's tons of controls described in Help>Keys and in the built-in tutorials.  The manual is pretty exhaustive too, but it's probably pretty dry reading.

Yeah I should probably zip through it again now that I know what I am doing (for the most part) since the first time I looked at it alot of it was gibberish to my brain.
