Finale Forum

Some chords that don't exist on the list of Finale, when created , appear too narrow, as is the case in the File attached, Cm6(9)

Is there a way to appear more clear?


I appreciate your always valuable help


Finale 2014/ Windows 7

Control-click on the Chord Symbol, select Edit Chord Suffix, and drag the Parenthesis and Number to Customize Spacing.
It's easy when you get used to it.

Thanks, oldmkvi,
but I don't get it yet.

I did:

1) Right-click mouse on the Chord Symbol
2) Edit Chord definition
3) Suffix: Edit
4) Chord Suffix Editor

and I can only drag the letter "m", but not the Parenthesis and Number

Use the "Next" button to access the other symbols.
I typed in Cm69, it stacked the 6 and 9, looked fine.
Try it!
I never use Parenthesis.

Thank you very much, oldmokvi,

I've got it already.

The route is then:

1) Right-click mouse on the Chord Symbol
2) Edit Chord definition
3) Suffix: Edit
4) Chord Suffix Editor
5) Click NEXT to activate each additional element in the suffix to be able to adjust its position.

Nearly. 5. Click NEXT to activate each additional element in the suffix to be able to adjust its position.
6. Adjust its position.
7. Repeat 5. and 6. until done.
