Treat capo as a playing choice
A capo changes the shapes a guitarist plays, but it should not erase the musical key or the chart history. ChordMate keeps capo separate from global transposition so the sheet stays understandable for singers and guitarists.
Combine capo with transposition
When a song is too high or too low, you can transpose the chart into a better target key and then decide whether a capo makes the guitar part easier. This mirrors real rehearsal decisions more closely than a single key selector.
Keep capo in exported files
Capo position is included with the working chart so exported text or ChordPro can travel with the performance notes. That matters for bands, classes, and worship teams where the same song may be played in different keys.
