Working on a jazz chart and most things arr going well. But as I was changing chord fonts from Broadway to Finale Jazz Lowercase, a few of my chords must have gotten damaged based on the results I am getting now.

I am using Finale 27.4.1.110, the latest downloadable version, the Chord font profile under Document Options is as follows:
Symbol: Finale Jazz Text Lowercase 12 fixed plain;
Suffix*: Finale Jazz Text Lowercase 14 fixed plain;
Alteration: Maestro 14 fixed plain;
Fret-board: Seville 36 plain.

The piece is in Bb major. When I try to use the chord function, whether manual or any number of staff analysis, for the G minor chord I get a greyed out "N.C." (without the quotation marks). When I go to the Edit Chord window I see the attached photo. I have not been able to find a reference to this particular problem. I have not been able to clear the N.C Chord to replace it with the Gm text. I did type in Gm to replace the N.C. in the Chord Symbol box, but what I get is the chord a major 3rd higher, so Gm becomes Bm. I did try to delete all of the learned chords for this document via the Chord->Edit Learned Chords window, but even deleting most of the learned chords, I cannot fix this problem.

Not sure what to try next. I could always just text in the correct chord, but I am searching for a better fix. Anyone see this yet?

Thanks,

If you upload a sample of the chord, I will be happy to try and figure out the problem for you.

I think you need to upload your file to get to the bottom of it.
