While attempting to create globally offset slash chords - I seemed to have created a situation where one type of slash chord is now invisible.
In the attache document measures 9, 10, 11, and 12 all contain an invisible slash chord, A–/C.
If I try to add A–/C into a measure (Shift-Q then type Am/C) without a chord symbol then A–/C becomes invisible. Other slash chords are visible (but lack the offset that I wanted).
I tried restarting Dorico to see if the strange problem would go away - but, I still have the same symptoms described above.
I don’t know what I’ve done to cause this - but I was in Library >> Chord Symbols . . . attempting to create an a global offset slash chord (which didn’t work for me)
I’ve attached the project.
Are the above mentioned chords invisible for others - or is it just me?

I see the A-/C symbols you’ve entered, and I’m able to add more in later measures. Are you sure you’re adding different chords in between them? The behavior I’m getting is for immediately restated symbols not to appear.
The chords are invisible for me. I can create a video to show this.
I’m using a 2015 MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey 12.7.6.
If you change this setting to “Show chord symbol in full,” then they will appear:
I’m not entirely sure if that’s the expected behavior or not here. Usually that setting is used to hide the quality over a different bass so I’m not sure what is expected to apply when the bass is the same. (You can also use a repeat sign for this with the workaround I posted here.)
@FredGUnn That worked. Although, it’s rather strange that the entire chord was hidden - and seemingly only on my system.
It was hidden on my system too. The chord was hidden because you had “Show altered bass note only” selected, but then I guess Dorico hid the bass note too as it wasn’t different from the previous.
I suspect this has something to do with the fact that you created the slash bass as an override rather than using this Engraving Options setting:
I was using Library >> Chord Symbols . . . to fiddle with the way the chords look.
Is that an override? I suppose so.
