First post here.
I’m writing in Bb, and would like only the guitar to show key of G’ chords names for my guitarist. I right clicked on my player in Setup, chose ‘Edit Strings and Tuning’ in the menu, clicked ‘Capo’, and chose ‘Fret 3’ for a full Capo.
My problem is that my chords changed to ‘Abb’ (that is A double flat) rather than ‘G’. How can I have it show the ‘enharmonic’ spelling to show ‘G’ chord names for my guitarist?
Thanks y’all!
I think when you change the transposition that you have a choice between say G# and Ab? Or am I wrong?
Per your suggestion, I just tried setting D#3 or up 3 half-steps. Still got it calling it ‘Abb’.
Instead of sounds as D#, try Eb?
just tried Eb - no effect on the chord names.
Chord symbols don’t use the transposition from the Edit Strings and Tuning dialog - they use the transposition defined for the Player here:
Have you tried Eb4?
I just did, by deleting ‘D#’ and typing ‘Eb’. No change 
Can you attach a project?

I can’t reproduce this issue.
When I right-click on the Electric Guitar Player > Chord Symbols > Capo Chord Symbol Definition > change to Eb4, it appears like this:
Updated file is attached, if that helps:

oof. Ok, thanks. I’ll try again. Running on an M2 MacBook Pro, Ventura 13.6
It worked! All I did differently this time was delete the ‘4’ in ‘D#4’ as well -before I had left the ‘4’ and just replaced the ‘D#’. Weird.
thank you! this place is great
If you use the little paddle arrows, you don’t have to type anything. Typing it in always runs the risk of an invalid input – which in Dorico’s UI style is ignored rather than reported.
