Buried in the list of features that we added to Capo 4 was the oft-requested ability to manipulate Capo’s detected beat locations.
Capo’s automatic beat detection is generally pretty good , but here are a few situations that can cause havoc:
- Varying tempo and meter (e.g. The Beatles’ A Taste of Honey)
- Unconventional/changing time signatures (e.g. The Kinks’ Strangers)
- Compound time signatures (e.g. John Mayer’s Another Kind of Green)
- Fluid tempo (e.g. Mississippi John Hurt’s Candyman)
