In the screenshot, he plays Em. However, it is actually Gm

Because he used a "capo" on his guitar to change G major to Bb

Therefore, although Em is played, it is actually Gm

my question is. Does BIAB have similar functions? For example, I still set it in the key of G major, and the key displayed in each BAR is also G major. But actually the sound is in Bb major.

In other words, when I see the video added to the third fret, I only need to add +3 in the BIAB software, but it will still be displayed in the key of G major.

Does BIAB have similar functions?

Can't you just input the chords given then change the key signature?
That is what I do. YMMV


Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

BIAB should be able to do what you want. There are two kinds of transposition in BIAB. One changes the key and the pitch of what you hear, both together. The other changes the key that is displayed, but the pitch remains the same.

Look at the little box that displays the key signature and notice that there is a small space to the right of the displayed key. Click there and you can specify the visual transposition, for example for a saxophone (a transposing instrument) to read the music but have it still sound in the original key as played on the computer.

In the case of the guitar with a capo, you will have to know how many half-steps the difference is.

I didn't find a way. Implement my ideas.

for example. For example, when I +1, the BAR of BIAB still displays C, but the shift-enter sound is Db.

You need to transpose the key from the transposition menu. Click where you see 'C' near the song tempo value at the top of the screen.

There are two values that you can use. One transposes the song and chords, the other just transposes the chords.

Hi SBM.

Have you had a play around with "Guitar Capo (visual transpose)"? This sounds like it might do what you are wanting.

The virtual instrument I use is EZKEY 1. I found that the EZKEY itself can adjust semitone intervals. So, my idea came true.

I can change it by modifying the semitone interval of EZKEY.

I took a screenshot of the photo and shared it here.

Good. I would still suggest you have the info you need if you work just within BIAB.

Welcome to the forum. If by "you guys" you mean PG Music staff (instead of the fellow users who are commenting here), the best way to make this request is to go to the Wishlist section of the forums, here: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=9&page=1

I do agree with your request, as far as I understand it; I've never used anything related to a capo function.
