Well I don't know about capslockness, but you can have per-window 
keyboard layouts. Go to international preference pane and all should 
become clear. If you're not using Leopard that is. Apparently in Leopard 
Apple decided to revoke the feature that lets you use separate input 
sources per application. In that case, it looks like you need:

Anyway, the real trick will be finding a keyboard layout that maps 
lower-case keys to upper-case. Maybe you could make your own with this:

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
