In all books I know (which are piano score with chord accompaniment) it
is written at sounding pitch, with the capo pitch in brackets, eg for
capo 2 you might see "D(C)".
I've never seen a dedicated guitar score with capo, so I can't comment
on that.
I don't think it made it into lilypond (I've still got the code) but I
wrote a modification to the chord code that would automatically produce
the bracketed notation.
If that's wanted, I can dig it up again (life happened, and having got
it working I didn't get it into a form acceptable to the maintainers... :-(
