Regarding the G chord capoing to a "Gb" chord: I did a strange thing, and it seemed to work. The actual chord in the piece is Gm; I opened the chord def dialog, then typed in the cap at 1 fret as usual, then I changed the chord name at the top from Gm to F##m and it seemed to work! Even more interesting, when I re-open the chord definition, it still shows Gm as the original chord name.
