I’m completing a project where chord symbols had to be formatted in a way that couldn’t be done via Font Styles, resulting in a situation where I essentially had to override all chord symbols. (The Project Default Appearances are a godsend!)
This arose some questions:
— I tried to be tidy at first, but it seems that each override creates its own component. Is this correct? I started getting, say, multiple copies of the roots as components in the Edit Chord Symbol Appearance window (or even of the accidentals, to which I usually applied no changes whatsoever), so many that I just gave up trying to be methodical. How could I go about in the future so that I can point to the very same component?
— Some of these, in addition to the red ribbon indicating an override, also display a bin icon. Why only on some? Are these components that aren’t being used in any override?
— How exactly are chord symbols sorted in the Default Project Appearances? It’s not by root, and, if my memory serves me right, it’s not chronologically either. Is it by the order they appear in the project? Even though my case is absolutely atypical, could I bug you for an eventual way to control how these are sorted?
