I play for dancers and singers in a show on a somewhat dark stage, and I use a dab' of White Out on the 5th and 7th, based on capo on the 4th for mostly the whole show (solea, I slide up to 6th, but the previous 5th & 7th dots now give me a 3rd and 5th mark. If I have to change for a guest singer or whatever, I can simply rub them off, make new ones, or just use them as a reference from where I am. I use them because I'm caught between watching a cantaor and a dancer (or several), and then trying to quickly acquire the 6th position for the start of a falseta or something. It helps. And I'm just not that good, so I'll take any help where I can get it!

With just a 7th fret marker, Using a capo hasn’t been an issue like I thought it would be. According to dictionary .com: How did we start capitalizing I? It turns out that this unusual convention was a bit of an accident. In Old and Middle English, the word for I was closer to its German cousin, ich, and it was often spelled ic. At this point, the word was not capitalized. However, the pronunciation changed over time and so did the spelling, losing the consonant C. At first, the new word, i, was left lowercase. By the time Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in the late 1300s, I, the personal pronoun, was slightly taller than its lowercase equivalent. From that point on, it was typically capitalized.

You can pull that thread even more and arrive here .... Taken from "A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities" John Murray 1875. Keywords being capitis diminutio, regarding the relationship between Patronus and Libertus.
