Mike,

Yes, and I suggest you pitch the music as close to being in tune BEFORE
you try to use Capstan, since it looks at the nearest pitch center  
referenced
to A 440 Hz.  At least I think that is the way it works.  Presumably  
it allows
you to designate the 'A' frequency, which might not be 440 Hz in some
cases; many years ago it was 438 Hz in Europe, etc.
