Align chord symbols along baseline of text and not altered bass separator

[AlGore]

Is there a way to align the chord symbols along the baseline of the actual text and not the baseline including the separator?

Here is what I want chords to look like: (this is with “align chords across width” ON)

When you turn “align chords across width” OFF, you get this:

To me this looks awful. I think the align function should only take into account possible collisions which of course there are none here.

Where this immediately becomes a problem is you end up have to choose the lesser of two evils. Either nicely aligned chords floating out in the stratosphere or that awful altered bass offset.

I just grab them all and arrow them down, that way they all stay perfectly aligned, and it only takes a couple of seconds.

love this. great work around.

I’m hoping they come up with a fix that makes this work in the next update

[AlGore]

but you gotta admit this is unacceptable.

I tried making the separator smaller and a different font and nothing fixed it. Insane that this is even a problem.

I agree that this isn’t ideal. This issue is on our backlog to be addressed in a future update.

thanks!

I am trying to spot the difference between the first two screenshots. As I hardly ever work with chord symbols, where should I look?

Ah, now I see the difference

In the meantime, if you don’t mean separator of the same height as the letters, you can open the chord symbol editor, add G/B, double click the separator and enter those values:

To be fair, the other symbols will drop down less than a micron with the alignment off, but it’s still quite convincing even though it’s not quite what you want.
