Hi,

I noticed that when I am moving either chords or any expression i selected, as I am moving them on the score, they seem to
follow a grid. I cannot place them smoothly where I want. This never happened on Finale 26.
Anyone knows how to fix this ?

Thanks. I found it. Still, I am not selecting to snap to Grid and it still does.

I think there is a KB article about a bug moving items in the Mac version. This might be one of the items affected.

Moving chords or expressions is smooth for me in 27.

What Mac OS are you using?
