I think you'd be better off trying to bring all the sources to near-daylight than to try to convert your flash to match the fluorescents. Harder on-site, but much easier from that point on.
You could also overpower the ambient light by using lots of powerful flash. Once the ambient light is 2 or 3 stops darker than the flash illumination, it will be relatively inconsequential.

To Ken and the group,
Shooting flash against fluorescent is a classic problem with no easy solution. I often come across it when photgraphing interiors.
I cannot advise you how to use your G2, but if you want to record some of the ambient fluorescent light, I suggest you filter the flash. Put something like a 30CC green over your flash. This is available as an inexpensive "gel" from various manufacturers like Rosco and Lee. If you have a small strobe, you might be able to cover the head with a "swatch" from the manufacturer's sample book.
