Why would it do this? I looked throughout the inspector but can’t see any options that would make it display properly.
(Note this is in a saxophone player and I am adding chords in the full score, which is currently displayed in concert pitch, which is the easiest way for me to label chords the way I intend them. The eventual goal will be to export the sax part in its proper transposition with the chords also transposed.)
Solved by AI: for some reason in this project, the Library menu > Font Styles > Chord Symbols Music Text Font was set to Times. Once I changed this to Bravura Text font, all of my chord symbols now appear properly.
Documenting it here in case anyone else runs into this. (Thanks @asherber - you were close!) This wasn’t related to the sax being a transposing instrument nor to me composing in atonal (no key signature) mode; it was just a font issue.
What an odd comment. I didn’t blame the font. How does one blame a font? The font didn’t do anything wrong.
I didn’t knowingly change that font setting in this project, so even if I did and didn’t realize it, it was accidental. I don’t think I needed the finger-pointing of “YOU caused the problem.” Whether you intended it or not, that came off to me as quite rude. I think we all agree this forum is for helping people solve problems, not for jabbing at them for making mistakes. Let’s not create an unnecessarily toxic environment here.
