Help
Can someone list in details the the responses after the following sequence:
1N - X - Pass - ?
Where X is an Advanced Cappelletti showing 5(+) cards in an unspecified Minor + 4 cards in an unspecified Major ?
(This Variation, replaces the standard Cappelletti where the Double over 1N is used for Penalty).

You might want to consider playing "advanced" and leave the Crappelletti part away 
My responses over Dbl showing 4M and 5+m:
2♣ = P/C
...2♦ = ♦
......2♥ = P/C
2♦ = asks to bid the Major
2M = natural, own suit, NF

I always showed 3+ suits up the line, so all are p/c except 2♠.
But Free's scheme looks consistent, you have more constructive tools and can also bid a natural 2♥, and only lose the ability to try to play 2♦ when opponents have a huge club fit. All in all better I'd say.

Yes, just do a search for "Advanced" A.K.A. Woolsey vs. NT. It includes Free's response structure and lots of other stuff which is better than Capp.

I only play this method by a passed hand, so we can't have game on. That means we've only defined 2-level responses, which are:
2C = pass or correct
2D = what is your major?
2M = natural, NF
If I needed to, I would then add
2NT = natural
and start thinking about the 3-level bids. But I don't need to.

Since no one plays Capp any more there is little interest in advanced Capp. Even the developer gave it up.

Closely enough related question:
In strong club setup after initial negative, we have 1H as strong and others around 15-18.
We have 1♠ as 4M, 5+m so we have 1NT as extra step compared to woolsey. How to best take advantage of it?

I take it a balanced minimum is not a sensible option?
