I inadvertently changed a staff style, and the chord symbols in both the bass and tenor parts disappeared -- except when I click on a measure in Speedy Entry.

In neither Staff Styles or Alternate Notation dialog boxes can I locate a checkbox for "chords" or "chord symbols."

Does anyone know how to restore the chord symbols (with the slashes that were already there)?

See if your staff style (slashes) has the "Show items attached to notes in other layers" chekbox selected.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have noticed novel things in the Staff Tool, and it's nice to be reminded about a necessary procedure for implementing chord symbols with Staff Styles.
