Alan: Roger is referring to the practice of using a string hook to lift and level all the strings, so that they make firm contact with the capo bar and are level.  Using the string hook of your choice, put the hook under the string right in front of the damper and pull towards the capo bar, lifting slightly as you do so.  Do all three strings and check that they are level.  The strings will typically drop in pitch and improve in tone when retuned.  It will eliminate some if not all the duplex noise.
