sets how many notes sound per minute — at 120 you hear 120 of them. It is
not
a tempo: every note is given the same length, so there is no rhythm and nothing to count beats against. That’s deliberate — it’s an even drill pace you choose.
For a beat to play along to, use

is a separate setting. For the melody’s real timing, record it and use

tuning
and

detected from it.
A chord that belongs to a staff isn't drawn here — it appears in
Chords
on the right as a standalone interactive chord line.

Transpose
?
Transpose
— shifts the whole song up or down in pitch while
keeping the capo where it is
. Unlike Easy Chords, this really changes the key you hear.
steps
moves by a number of half steps — e.g.
2
up a whole tone,
-1
down a semitone.
highest
transposes so the song's highest note lands on a pitch you name (e.g.
F3
) — handy for fitting a singer's range.

Chords

Chords
— the chord lines and text lines found in your tablature.
When a text line has a chord line above it, the interactive chord line sits right on top of that text.
When a chord belongs to a staff instead, it shows up here as a standalone interactive chord line.
Standalone text lines appear here too.

Easy Chords
?
Easy Chords
— looks for
capo positions that make the song easier to play
: fewer barre chords, or simpler ones. It does
not
change the pitch — the song sounds exactly the same.
Pick a suggestion (or type a fret and press
Set Capo
) to reshape the chords for that capo. If your input also has a tab staff, its notes are re-fretted to match, so you get a complete tab in the new capo position.
This is
not
a transpose. To actually move the song's pitch with a capo, go to
Overview
, add a line such as
capo: 3rd fret
, and Analyse again — that sets the capo there and shifts the song.
