Resetting the enharmonic spelling of chord symbols

You can remove enharmonic spelling overrides for chord symbols you have respelled and return them to their default spelling. You can remove overrides for instruments with a single transposition only, such as instruments in B, or for all instrument transpositions.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the chord symbol whose spelling you want to reset.
    • If you want to reset the enharmonic spelling of the chord symbol for a single instrument transposition only, select the chord symbol on a staff belonging to an instrument with that transposition. For example, select it on the staff of any instrument in B to reset the chord symbol for all instruments in B.

    • If you want to reset the enharmonic spelling of the chord symbol for all instrument transpositions, select the chord symbol on any staff that belongs to a transposing instrument.

  2. Press Return to open the chord symbols popover for the selected chord symbol.

    The existing entry for the chord symbol is shown inside the popover.

  3. Reset the enharmonic spelling of the chord symbol in any of the following ways:
    • To reset the enharmonic spelling of the chord symbol for instruments only with the selected transposition, enter Alt/Opt-S into the chord symbols popover.

    • To reset the enharmonic spelling of the chord symbol for all instrument transpositions, enter Shift-Alt/Opt-S into the popover.

Result

The enharmonic spelling of the selected chord symbol in transposing layouts is reset, either just for instruments with the specified transposition or for all transposing instruments.
