Hi

I've got a piece I notated a few years back. And now, to save space on musicians' parts, I'd like to use some more abbreviated chord symbols, like change all Gm7(b5) chords to G (slashed circle). How can I change all incidences of a chord in the piece at once? It seems like I have to change each incidence manually, one by one. That can't be, can't it?

thanks!

Kurt

In the Chord Suffix designer window, find the mi7(b5) suffix. Click on it and click the delete button below. You'll be asked if you want to substitute another suffix - find the desired suffix and click OK.
