It's an extension that's available with some programs. Not sure if that counts as "common" but in essence, yes you are right. The octave transposition is also available with some programs. It should work with Muse e.g. K:Am clef=treble transpose=-12 You may have to bypass a bug - you can get the octave indication below and a guitar capo indication on top of each other (so move one or delete it or input the stuff directly via GUI rather than ABC). I'm sure Muse is not the only program to support this, but it's the one I know about. Laurie
