Chord symbol slash in different font

[Hanhom]

Hi!

I’m working on a project with a font that’s not SMUFL (Neue Singular)
Is there a way to make the slash symbol smaller?
I tried to make Font Styles > Chord Symbols altered bass seperator font smaller, but that didn’t work.

Thanks!

I think that this should do the trick:

Odd issue with re-sizing chord symbol elements

(I did post this in the FB group but didn’t get a real answer, although John Baron did try, thanks John!) I have an odd problem. I’m trying to change the appearance of some types of chord symbols using the project default appearance. (Just changing the size of some elements) But I’m having issues with some types of chords only changing the specific chord I enter… In this first pic : [chord symbols that do work] you can see that in the document, the Fsus4 and the Csus4 are displaying the sam…

The 6/9 is certainly too small IMO too. I also don’t care for the slash. (It’s not a fraction or a “slash chord”) I have my own chord library set up like this: [69] You can pretty easily make a global change to the 69 definition though. Go to Engraving Options / Chords / Project Default Appearances / Edit Enter any 69 chord and hit +. The root doesn’t matter, you just need something there so you can edit the suffix. Click the 69, then make sure it is selected in blue underneath in th…

There’s a few more too. Yell out if you need more guidance.

Looks good! As Dorico doesn’t have a Font Style or adjustment settings for slashes, I made one myself with a doricolib file and posted it in this thread.

Once installed, the doricolib file creates a functioning Font Style to adjust this:

Basically the doricolib file redefines the bass.slash and the bass.slashdiagonal glyphs to use the new Font Style that’s also contained in the doricolib file, so you can have easy control over this. I have the default percentages and yOffset values set to work the way I want with my fonts without further adjustment or editing, but obviously these can be edited to whatever you want as well.

Yeah, this only works for the “on” text selected below:

There isn’t a setting to adjust the normal slash, which is why I created the doricolib file described above. I explained how to install it in the linked thread, but let us know if you can’t get it working.
