Respelling capo chords

[miker]

I just got a call with a question I couldn't answer, so I'm putting it out here:

The key is F major. The chord is A minor. Using the Create Capo Chords, 3rd fret, gives the chord as G flat. How can I get it show as F sharp, instead?

Never mind! Found it in an 2014 forum post from Zuill. (What a surprise!)

Entering the Am as G##m changes to Am when you go to the next chord, and the capo shows as F#m.

That's a trick I learned from Peter Thomsen.

Yet another surprise!
