These are just some examples of incorrect guitar chords in fretboard notation on Finale PrintMusic 2011 scores:
  • An A/C# only displays a regular A
    An E/B displays the entire E, not stopping at the B in the bass
    A C/D doesn't have a D in it anywhere! :o
    A C#m/B doesn't put the B in the bass
    An E/G# doesn't put the G# in the bass
    An A2, C2, F2, G2, and probably every other 2 chord requires the guitarist to have 6 fingers on their left hand! :shock:
Please, for the love of all that is good, tell me how to fix these. I spent $120.00 on this product just to fix these chords for a client and I can't figure out where it's done. I'm glad you cater to the very small subset of six-fingered guitarists that exist in the universe, but please show me where to turn that feature off. :wink:
Warm Regards-
Craig

Sorry, but you can't alter the chords in PrintMusic. What they give you is what you've got. You would need the full Finale to make those changes.

Unacceptable. I do not have six fingers. Seriously, I want my money back.

Thank you so much! I spoke with them to deauthorize my product and get my money credited back. They were very good about it. They're also going to pass along my suggestions to the developers.
