Alternative Chord Symbols

Dorico

I realize this has been asked before, but I don’t see if anything has been done so far. Has a way to implement chords in parentheses above other chord symbols to allow for alternate chord suggestions? Going for the look from the Sher Real books…

Something like this…

(Am7 D7)
D7

As far as I can tell, the only way to do this currently requires manually moving chords that have been put in offset places.

If there’s a better best-practice, or a new solution, please direct me!

There isn’t, so far. Another thing often requested and discussed (especially lately).

Thanks…last post I saw on search was from 2020…but of course my terms probably didn’t catch the new ones.

I add alternative chord symbols as system text using the MusGlyphs font.
