Hi,
What is the default vertical position of chord symbols? I can't find where this information is defined. What I would like to see is how the default vertical position of the chord symbol is defined (with respect to what: top staff line, bottom staff line, etc.?), what that value is (in numbers), and where I can find this information (menu, manual, etc.).
This is for F2007.
Thanks.

The default position, in inches, is .5" above the middle staff line. This is not defined in writing anywhere that I can find. To test this yourself, click on the leftmost chord baseline positioning handle and look at the message bar–it should read total offset .5". Drag the triangle down so the baseline is even with the middle staff line and it should read total offset 0".sPretzel wrote:What is the default vertical position of chord symbols?

Here is an article with information about chord positioning using the chord tool:

Incidentally, the lyric tool has the same .5" offset, only measured from below the middle staff line.

Hi Grossingink. I ended up figuring it out (144 EVPU). You are very right. Thanks.N Grossingink wrote:The default position, in inches, is .5" above the middle staff line.
