Hello,

I would like to write "SI b" chord as you see in the attached, but with the flat in Maestro font. How can I do it ?
I don't want to write "B b", like proposed in the Chord tool.
Thanks and regards

I found where is the flat on Maestro font. You can see in the attached, but it's not very nice, with the flat below.
I saw also that in the Chord menu there are different Chord styles, can you tell me how must I do to write "Re b", for instance ?

I am not sure whether Allegro 2007 can do it, but in the "full Finale" you can access a document setting that lets you specify the alteration accidental, and its vertical positioning relative to the baseline.
See the screen shot.

This setting is used for the root accidental, but it can also be used in the chord suffix (if you choose to do so in the Chord Suffix Editor).
