Hi

I'm using Finale 2014 for windows. I'm working on a jazz score I'm arranging for solo guitar (two layers single line) and above that line I have the chord symbols as a reference. Is there any way to play back the score and mute the chords so I'm just hearing the arrangement. I've looked through the manual and can't find anything that jumps out as the obvious solution. I could erase them as I go alone, but I would like to keep them there as a reference till I'm completely finished in case I want to go back and change something as I go along.

Thanks
Steven

Uncheck "Enable Chord Playback" in the Chord Tool menu.

Thank you, You would have thought I would have seen then, but sometimes people need to point out the obvious (at least for me)
