Guitar with capo

[pdxdjazz]

Chromatic global transpose is not currently available in iReal Pro.
It would be useful for capo users if they could designate a capo fret setting (1-11) for individual songs.
ie. capo-2, play G = key of A

There's currently no easy/convenient work-around.

Options:
Two devices, one to display the transposed chart, one to play.
On devices that can multi-task, you could take a screenshot of the chart transposed to your capo-key, then reset to concert-key, start play, view the screen-shot.
The moving playback position indicator won't happen on the chart you read.
Or
Edit the chart adding alternate small chords (transposed to your capo setting) one by one.
Read/play the alternate (small) chords with the capo as the chart plays in concert key.
(Playback position works)
Or
Using Global transpose setting: (for example) (it's complicated)
If the chart's concert key is C
set global transpose to F = capo 5 (up 2 and a half steps)
The chart reads G , you play G (capo 5) the player plays in concert C.

Currently available global transpose options: (did I mention it's complicated...)
Bb - plays up 5 steps from displayed chords (or down one whole step)
(capo 10 and play displayed chords relative to the capo as though it was the nut -1st position)

Eb - plays up a minor third (step and a half) from displayed chords (or down 4 and a half)
(capo 3 and play displayed chords)

F - plays up 2 and a half steps from displayed chords (or down 3 and a half)
(capo 5 and play displayed chords)

G - plays up 3 and a half steps from displayed chords (or down 2 and a half)
(capo 7 and play displayed chords)

To hear D and play/read a capo, your current global transpose options are:
Set Global transpose to:
Bb - Capo 10, read/play E
Eb - capo 3, read/play B
F - capo 5, read/play A
G - capo 7, read/play G

It doesn't appear the available Global transpose options offer a hear D, read C option.
Remember to reset Global transpose to C when done.

Final option:
Learn to read/play using Nashville Number charts...
