# Transcribing Notes

When learning to play solos or other detailed parts of music, you can enter individual notes into Capo very quickly, generating tablature as you go.

Capo lets you easily record the notes you hear in a song simply by using your mouse. No longer do you have to keep a notepad at hand to transcribe solos, because Capo lets you save your transcriptions for when you return to learning, or playing a song.

Capo's interface is split into two main areas dedicated to the note entry process:

- The Spectrogram contains a visualization of your music that provides hints for where the notes appear in the song
- The Notation display shows the note entries you have placed below the detected chords in the guitar tablature format

Reading the Spectrogram
  The spectrogram enables Capo to provide a much more rich and powerful visualization of your music. Compared with the flat view of a typical audio waveform, the spectrogram shows you the intensity of notes over time.
Selecting Notes
  If you need to clean up accidental note entries, or move entries to another string, they need to be selected first.
Entering Notes
  Tabbing out songs is as easy as "drawing" them atop the spectrogram, and listening to the note playback to verify what you've entered.
Deleting Notes
  You might find that you'll enter notes that aren't actually being played, or it's a note that's played by a different instrument.
Moving Note Entries in the Tablature
  As guitarists know, notes appear in multiple places on the fretboard. When you drop a note entry, the chosen string location on the tablature may not match how the song is actually played.
