Bars and Beats

Capo's beat detection is able to correctly identify the downbeat for most songs, even with some drift in the tempo over the course of the song. When it doesn't, Capo provides some controls to help you adjust Capo's detected results.

Time Signature

Change the time signature

Note: Selecting a different time signature will change the bars and beats displayed on the timeline immediately. You can undo this operation (and other beat-modifying operations) if you make a mistake.

Downbeat

Shift the downbeat

When Capo fails to identify the downbeat correctly in your song, you can shift it left or right in eighth note increments.
