When writing (and I suppose reading) sheetmusic for guitar do you indicate that there is a capo and make all of the notes relative or do you simply put the notes that you would be playing with a capo?

Since I don't think that was very clear, I'll try and say it simpler. In tab you put that there is a capo - lets say on 2, then put all the would be 2's as 0. Do you also do this for sheet music? So would you put all of the F#'s as E's and so forth?

I hope that made sense.

My guess is that you would not make them relative. Simply put the notes which you will be playing. Or else it seems like it would be too confusing.
