Yes, guitar voices are written one octave higher than they sound.

Well, I used octavation in order to avoid much ledger lines.
Unfortunately, the chord fingerings, which are printed above the
staff, cross the 8va-----, mark. That's my main problem, since
I don't know how to move the fingerings up. And I guess that I
would have to move the chord symbols, too. But maybe there is some
other solution...
Any tips?
