People who read charts like chords on one line.

You could enter the names as Text items.

This is what I'm meaning. Any idea with Chord Tool? 

Some libraries that come with Finale offer some superimposed elements, but not systematically. You can load the various chord suffix libraries to see what suits your needs best. Facing the same problem, I made my own chord suffix library, with all my personal preferences (size, font, layout, symbols used, etc...). It took me 2 or 3 hours, but I can now load it into all my files.

To save time, you can start from an existing library, duplicate suffixes and modify them. When you are done, save the library.

Thanks Michel, a great suggestion. I'll try.

I hope also in a more options in future Finale versions. ;)

Thanks.

Hi Michel,

Do you know if there is a way to set the font for the Chord Definition Dialog Box?

I have a custom font with some symbols I would like to use as Chords ~

Thanks

Jai

Hi Jai,

I assume you have installed the font in your system (Windows or Mac). Then the font becomes available under Document -> Document Options -> Fonts -> Chords.

Now, if you are talking about suffixes, you would need to have them in a chord suffix library or in a document.

Usually, the only way to have new suffixes is (in your case with the "new" font selected) is to create them in the Chord Suffix Editor. It takes some time, but then you can save your suffixes as a library which you can load into any other document.

Thanks Michel,

It seems tricky to get to the Chord Suffix Editor? but will give it a try 

I'm also looking for the superscript triangle symbol for maj7 chords

Would you happen to know which font it might be in?

I looked at Maestro, Finale Numerics, etc

A triangle exists in many fonts, musical or not  : Maestro (yes !), Helvetica, Times, etc... You don't need to look for a superscript character, just use a regular triangle and move it up in the suffix.

The triangle is the ± character interpreted in Maestro (size = 24).

Okay great

Thanks ~
