What's new

v4.3 [Nov 4, 2021]
# New Features
## Larger Chord Sizes
You can now choose to display chords with a larger size, making them easier to read in the PRACTICE, TABBING, and CHORDS song views.
## Improved In-App Release Notes
Thanks to automatic updates, it's easy to miss out on the details of our ongoing work on Capo between larger releases. To keep you in the loop, we now ship Capo with a more comprehensive set of change history that goes all the way back to the 4.0 release that shipped in late 2019.
In future updates to Capo, you'll be prompted to view these release notes at your convenience, and you can revisit them at any time by selecting Help > What's New from the main menu.
# Enhancements
* When using pinch zoom on a trackpad while the cursor is over the waveform area, the zoom gesture is no longer interrupted, and the display refresh rate has improved somewhat.
* Chord boxes for 4- and 5-stringed instruments are now rendered slightly more narrow than the standard 6-string diagrams, which looks a little closer to what folks might expect
* Added support for a few chords that have been requested in support: 6add9 (aka 6/9), 7sus2, maj7sus2, 7sus4, and maj7sus4. (Note: You have to specify "6add9" in your chord searches, because "6/9" throws off our support for recognizing inversions. We plan to address this issue soon!)
# Bug Fixes
* When zooming in or out with keyboard shortcuts, Capo no longer loses your position when the playhead is close to the end of the song (#1807)
* Capo no longer shows truncated bar numbers in the PRACTICE song view on macOS 10.12
* You can no longer edit a project's filename from the window titlebar before saving it for the first time, causing Capo to crash (#1839, #1823)
* When switching your instrument to something other than a guitar in standard tuning, Capo now correctly remembers this selection for new projects (#1803)

v3.5 [Dec 15, 2016]
- Fixed Bug: When adjusting the Isolation frequency slider, the high frequency setting no longer resets when playback is re-started.
- Corrects a crash that occurred when scrubbing near the end of the song.
- Fixed Crash: When the metronome item is added to the Touch Bar, Capo no longer crashes when closing a project.
- Capo no longer crashes when importing metadata for certain audio files.
- Fixed a drawing artifact that was visible near the end of the waveform while zooming.

v3.4 [Dec 16, 2015]
- Corrects a potential lock-up that could occur when playing back note entries.
- Improved timing accuracy for note entry and metronome playback.
- Fixes a layout issue with the TAB display header.

v2.1 [Apr 2, 2011]
Bug Fixes:
• Capo's spectrogram display offset has been adjusted to more closely matches the timing of the song you're hearing while zoomed in.
• Capo no longer displays an incorrect pitch on the left of the spectrogram when a song is transposed.
• Note entries no longer play at un-transposed pitch when clicked.
• When loading an existing, transposed song into Capo, the spectrogram no longer appears at its un-transposed position.
• Capo's display now updates properly when the "Jump to Beginning" command is invoked.
• When scrolling quickly, Capo no longer clips out the display of tab entries. Tab entries are also shown immediately in all cases when a document is loaded, and no longer require the window to be resized.
• While dragging the document window, the spectrogram's position now updates more smoothly, with no more jittering.
• While dragging the playhead, it no longer appears to the left of the mouse cursor.
• Upon loading an existing song, Capo no longer shows 'dead space' beyond the end of the spectrogram before the window is first resized.
• The time display once again updates during scrubbing.
• After scrubbing the playhead, a dropped marker will no longer appear to the right of the playhead.
• The time display once again updates in response to jumping between markers.
