Transpose notes and choose a capo
Move a sequence of pitch names into another key and inspect the fret-zero shapes needed with a capo.
Your inputs
Start with the example values, then replace them with your own. For tables, keep the vertical bar separators and use a dot for decimals.
This is a practice aid, not an assessment of intelligence, ability or health. Results vary with the task and conditions.

How it works
Pitch classes are mapped to 0–11 and shifted modulo 12. Capo shapes subtract the capo fret from the desired sounding notes. Output uses sharps; rhythm, chord quality and octave are not inferred.
Worked example
These sample results use the original example inputs in the form. They do not change when you edit your inputs; your own result appears in the workspace.
| Input note | Sounding note | Capo shape |
|---|---|---|
| C | D | C |
| D | E | D |
| E | F# | E |
| F | G | F |
Read the result carefully
Results depend on the values and assumptions shown above. Change one input at a time to see its effect. A blank or unavailable result means the data does not support a calculation; it is not zero.
