tab staff ignores "Play transposition" property

Downloaded MS2Beta1 to try out the tab staff feature and noticed that the tab staff no longer pays attention to the "Play transposition" property, which in prior versions was very useful as a quick means to indicate capo position (i.e. Play transposition == '2 - Major Second' is like having a capo on the 2nd fret). In prior MS2 versions, the tab staff has considered the transposed notes as "open", but beta1 seems to ignore this property and shows the frets numbered from the nut, not relative to the transposed notes. I see that "Edit String Data" allows each string to have a custom "open" note, but changing each string one at a time seems to be a cumbersome way to handle what was much easier in prior revisions.

q: is this behavior intentional?
