Is that the default, or did you change the chord fonts?

Thanks for your answer....I didn't change the chord fonts (I don't know where to do it) ... flats are normal...

I see now in Documents options, Chords, I see I can change the sharp.

Could you post the Finale document, rather than the screenshot? It's OK to erase the notes.

In the default document, the alteration is set to Maestro 15. You have it set to Maestro 26. That is why it is so big. Set it to a smaller size.

Change the Alteration setting to Maestro 15, which is the default.

Just curious
Where you using a small c or a capital C?.
My chords sometimes look like yours when I forget to capitalize the letter.

I used a capital C. The document was set by default with a big size for alterations, I don't know why...
