Change capo fret during the score
The "Mixer" pop-up allows for setting the capo fret. It'd be great to see this this value above the applicable Tab staff, near the player name.
I believe at this time, Power Tab Editor only allows a single capo fret setting for a given instrument for the entire score, so if I am using a quick change capo and add, move or remove the capo during the score, I can't show that. But at this time, just showing the single capo fret would be a big benefit.
The capo is per-player (it's part of the tuning) so this might be the same request as #324 ?
Thanks...yeah, was thinking that and even originally just submitted one github issue for both, but then I realized that the tuning would be the same for the whole score (for a player/instrument) but as I alluded above, the capo could change during the score so thought it might be a separate enhancement.
Yeah, I think this would then be a request to be able to change the capo fret for a player at the same time as e.g. changing which instrument it's assigned to.
In the current case,
if I am going to change the capo in the future, I have to create a new player:
and when the capo changes, it looks like this:
I have to place the capo comment onto the [Player Name] instead of writing it as a [Tab Symbol] (or Music Symbol), which is neither elegant nor convenient in my view.
Yeah, I think there are probably two separate features needed here : one would be to have the option of displaying the capo fret / tuning name during a player change, and then the other would be changing the capo fret for a single player during the score For the latter, it would probably be good to check whether Guitar Pro allows this for import/export purposes
