Where may I turn off auto-capitalization feature?

[HayesJohnHayes]

I type: 1. a4 and Scrivener feature after pressing space bar becomes: 1. A4.

How do I stop this feature? I am writing a chess book with algebraic notation. It will be impossible to write this book, if unable to disable feature.

Thank you in advance,

According to the Scrivener manual for Windows (I hope that’s correct, I’m a Mac user) you’ll find the setting via Tools → Options… → Corrections: “Fix capitalization of sentences”. And maybe also (don’t) “Capitalize ‘i’”.

Sometimes I will type a period, or an ellipsis (which Scrivener seems to think is a period) and the next character is capitalized, per screenshot attached. There is no way to defeat this automatic capitalization, a period will be followed by a capital lette…

Sorry, I assumed from your profile that it was Win-Scrivener related.

File>options>Corrections will see ability to adjust capitalization.
