Changing the staves above which chord symbols appear

You can change the players above whose staves chord symbols appear.

By default, chord symbols appear above the staves belonging to rhythm section instruments, such as keyboards, guitars, and bass guitars.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, select a player in the Players panel above which you want to hide/show chord symbols.
  2. Right-click the player and choose one of the following options from the context menu:
    • Chord Symbols > Show For All Instruments

      Chord symbols are shown above the staff of the selected player.

    • Chord Symbols > Show For Rhythm Section Instruments

      Chord symbols are shown above the staff of the selected player if it is a rhythm section instrument.

    • Chord Symbols > Hide For All Instruments

      Chord symbols are not shown above the staff of the selected player.

Result

Chord symbols are hidden/shown above the staff of the selected player. For example, if you choose Show For All Instruments, chord symbols can now appear above the selected player in the full score and any corresponding part layouts, depending on the layouts in which chord symbols are shown in your project.

Tip

You can show chord symbols between the two staves of grand staff instruments, such as piano. In Engraving Options, choose Between staves for Position of chord symbols on grand staff instruments in the Position section of the Chord Symbols page.
