Seems lame, but I had to create a whole bunch of "custom" chord suffixes because using an italiziced font for the chord symbols made the suffixes too squished.

I made a custom chord suffix library, exported it, and have been importing it every time I need it. It's been working fine—for example, A133 gives me A/C# (but spaced out nicely, like I need it to be).

Worked for about 20 files, and then just stopped. I type "A133" and it tells me it doesn't recognize the suffix. But when I click on the suffix, it's there. And I can load it via the "Edit Chord Definition" dialog box and selecting the suffix from the list.

I've attached the file. Can anyone help? Thanks!

When I type A:133, I get A/C# italicized.

You said you types A133. I typed A:133. Did you forget the colon?

Oh geez.

Zuill, do you accept credit? Or do you prefer ca$h?

That is to say, I'm an idiot, and thank you.

Sometimes it's the littlest thing. Every jot or tittle counts.
