Strictly speaking, if you are in EADGBE (or any number of steps lower) and use a cut capo on the ADG strings that would make the strings EBEABE when played open (1 step higher than DADGAD)
However, the string relationships are still the same as in standard tuning - to illustrate this just play a full barre chord on any higher fret - it is the same as it always is.
I've never quite gotten the knack of playing with a cut capo in that manner. Maybe it would be useful if I wanted to do some DADGAD-sounding fingerstyle stuff , but not lose any chords I'm familiar with up the neck??
