I have a Peterson StroboClip HD which has a ‘capo’ mode - you tell it which fret you’re capoed on, and the tuner works out what the note should be.

I never use it - I just do what 619TF suggests in his post above. In practice, I doubt anyone would ever need to remember what the note should be - you’d almost always just be ‘tweaking’ the Capoed tuning, so you’d be very close to the right note and it would show on the tuner. That’s my experience anyway.

The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.
