The root of chord symbols with altered bass notes is automatically hidden when (if my memory is correct) they come after a previous chord symbol with the same root.

You can change this if you always want to show the root in all circumstances in Library > Engraving Options > Chord Symbols.

Edit: Amazing, exactly the same question asked just a few minutes before yours:

Engraving Options>Chord Symbols>Altered Bass Notes [chord] Change to Show Chord Symbol in Full

It may well be that the font you’re using doesn’t have the required separator. What font are you using? If I choose e.g. Finale Jazz as the font for the Chord Symbols Font font style, the slash does appear.

Never mind. Found it!

I’ve got Finale Jazz chosen,

but the separating line still does not appear.

Also … that doesn’t look like the Finale font, does it?

I don’t think Finale Jazz is the right font to choose! I think you need to choose Finale Jazz Text.
