This is a big hmmmmm! Since I’ve found I need to do a lot repair to chord fonts and kerning, I set out to build a template with my preferred settings hoping that I wouldn’t need to do this repair for every project., just start from the template BUT… The file I made is in 12 keys with routine chor…

Set Font Styles / Chord Symbols Music Text Font to Finale Jazz (not Finale Jazz Text). I’m guessing Finale Jazz Text doesn’t have the SMuFL glyphs in the required locations.

I think we’d need to see the project itself to have any clues as to what might be going on with the fonts. In general, of course, you should find that a project appears exactly the same after you reopen it as it looked when you last worked on it. I can’t think of anything that would cause its appear…

Ok a couple of screen shots of my issue. This is an example of a lead sheet where I edited the chord extensions to my liking at the end stage after note and lyric input. Font is Finale Jazz Text, which I believe is SMuFL compliant. This file (and all others created this way) re-opens without issue. …

Can you attach the project that is no longer showing accidentals? Perhaps it will be instructive.

Already attached png screen shot in my reply. Can you not see it?

Ok trial run for this. Hope it works to drag and drop. Chord symbol adjustments.dorico (840.3 KB)

Seems to be the fix, thank you. Not completely however. I got all the flats back (e.g. C7b5 displays correctly) but the sharps were turned into naturals (e.g. C7#9 has a natural sign instead of #). Weird, but I’ll dig back into this for a couple of days.

Nope. Tried re-entering the chords but anything common like C7#9 or #11 the # is replaced by a natural. I find this queer because if I enter a project, notes lyrics and so on, then enter chord symbols last stage, Finale Jazz text works just fine (though not without some other quirks not pertinent to…

I can’t take a look right now, but I have a feeling you’ll get better results if you set Library > Engraving Options > Chord Symbols > Design > Scale factor for subscript and superscript components to something higher - try 70%. The Finale fonts are lacking some of the appropriate glyphs at the sma…

There are several issues at play here: Rather than use Engraving Options, you’ve created overrides for everything. This isn’t Finale, and that’s not how chord symbols work in Dorico. I don’t know the locations of the glyphs you chose when you built your overrides, but when I switch to Finale Jazz…
