Hi,
Is there a way to change the way to type a chord in the score.
For example I need e C7(b9) and in the library I've loaded I have to type C7( m-dash 9) and I even don't know how to type the m-dash.
You can see the image in the attachment

Thanks in advance

Type Shift/option/hyphen:


An even quicker way is to go to the bottom of the Chord Definition box and click the Select button. Find the suffix and take note of the number of the little cell it's in. To enter it type C/colon/XX, where XX is the number of the cell and C is the chord root. Print out screenshots of the suffix selection so you have them close by.

I guess I'm confused. If you want C7(b9), why not type that?
