This may be a stupid question, but I can't figure out how to make the accidentals of the chord symbols smaller. I used a template that started making them this way, and I don't know how to change it now.

Can you post that template?

I can't remember exactly what template I selected. It was a couple weeks ago, but I can post the piece for you to take a look at. It's a choir arrangement I did for a church Easter song. I've only started using Finale for about a month. So I'm pretty new.miker wrote:Can you post that template?

You can change the size of the accidental associated with the root in Document Options -> Fonts -> Chords -> Alteration.

Here is your Finale 2012 document - with a smaller font for the chord symbol alteration.
I also adjusted the accidental’s vertical position.

The accidental I am talking about is the one associated with the root : C#, Db, etc...
Select Alteration and click on Set Font.

Thank you for clearing that up. It works!
I mentioned that the Jazz, Broadway & Copyists automatically change the size of the
b or #. I wonder why Maestro doesn't?

(Perhaps it has been deleted?)
Hence I have not read about the circumstances where “Jazz, Broadway & Copyist automatically change the size of the
b or #, but Maestro does not.
Could you provide steps to reproduce the issue?

It seems to me when I write a Bb with Broadway the flat will enlarge when I enlarge the B. However,Peter Thomsen wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:37 amUnfortunately I can not find the place where you mentioned that.Deacon Don wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 5:00 am… I mentioned that the Jazz,

When using Broadway, when I enter a chord symbol with Bb, and enlarge the B, the flat does not automatically enlarge with the B.
