Capo for guitars (and other instruments that use a capo)
I do not know if this is already a thing and I just haven't found it or do not know how to get it to work, but I need a capo for a piece that I am writing and it can work in the lower, it just sounds prettier in a higher range. If anyone can help me, I'm trying to "put a capo" on the 5th fret for Acoustic Guitar [Tablature]. Thanks! Love Musescore with all my heart!

What do you expect exactly?
- This feature in: Style -> General -> Chords symbols, Fretboard... -> Capo -> Capo fret position. See: https://musescore.org/en/node/40346#comment-177941
- Or, is it related only to playback?
Eg, from this example: chords.mscz, you get a playback which simulates the use of a capo 5th fret? : chords capo5.mscz
In this case, you must use a trick (no native feature for that currently). So:
1) Notes -> Transpose -> By interval -> Perfect fourth/Up (for recall: perfect fourth is two tones + one semitone, so, equals to five frets on a guitar)
2) Then, apply same setting (perfect fourth/Up -> Ok) in Staff Properties (Transpose written...)
And you get this result: here same files in Tablature staff: chords TAB.mscz -> chords capo5 TAB.mscz
