What is standard notation for different chords in bass and treble?
I would like C in the right hand, G in the left. I believe C/G only specifies the root G in the base. I want to indicate a G chord.
TIA

Quoting Zuill, the great Finale master:

"Usually polychords are written on top of eachother, and not side by side.
In the Chord tool, you can type the lower chord in first, then press the up arrow, and enter the upper chord.
Then draw a line between the two chords with a smart shape, shape expression, or custom articulation."
