I want to add a second row of guitar chords in PM2011. Is this possible and how is it done. I can't find anything in the help files to assist with this

I think you would have to do it as text entries, or expressions. Sorry.

I don't know whether this will work in PrintMusic:

In "the full Finale" you can do an "alternate" chord symbol via the entry method "Type Into Score".
1) When you have entered the first chord symbol (e. g. A7), hit the UpArrow key.
The blinker will position itself above the first chord symbol (A7).
2) Type the "alternate" chord symbol (e. g. Gm6).

The resulting layout will look like this:

Gm6
A7

Thanks for the lesson, Peter! Yes, it works in PrintMusic as well.

Spacing is funky, so you will have to adjust it manually. Also, there is no way to automatically put them in parentheses.
