I’ve found the problem with the distorted spacing. The chord in bar 37 isn’t quantized (it’s about 12 ticks after the beat) which affects the spacing.
The fix is just to quantize the chord in bar 37 to be on the beat

Oh yes indeed it fixed the issue, thanks!
Actually it also fixed the issue with lyrics misplaced when using “copy from clipboard”
So I guess it’s important to have quantized chords with lyrics?
Also, while I have the opportunity, for an obscure reason, Cubase calls C4 “C3”. Besides being a musical non sense (middle C of the piano is C4 (or Do4) in music theory) it’s very disturbing as in Dorico C4 is correctly set. I’ve been asking for many years the option to choose to rename middle C to C4 in Cubase, do you think this could be improved one day ?
Yes, I would suggest ensuring that chords are quantized. I’ve logged an issue for us to consider display-quantizing chords in the score editor, however, that might not be desirable under all circumstances.
Re C4 vs C3 vs C5: I’ve written about this before (because people were complaining about Dorico not using C3). Unfortunately this is just an unfortunate quirk of history that music notation applications generally use C4, but Yamaha keyboards I think for many years (before music notation apps) used C3, and most DAWs, plugins and sample libraries use C3. I think at one point Roland used C5, but that wasn’t popular.
This has been requested before in Cubase and is in the feature request database
Thanks you very much for your answers and clarifications. Best regards
It would be so nice if the hard coded names could be transferred into tables in Cubase and the user could chose which table they want to use.
Surely quite a bit of work but… it would also enable enharmonic switches of the note names in the Key Editor. Currently it is all static until we introduce a chord or a scale on the chord track. So cumbersome.
And then the pop-ups - no flats to be found here.
Following this suggestion would it be possible to be able to have different grid alignment per track ? e.g. automatic grid alignment on bar or quarter for the chord track and no alignment or a different automatic grid for midi tracks ?
Possible or feasible?
My personal take is that it would be possible but likely not feasible, as I think the grid settings are global.
Very disappointed to see that none of those issues/propositions are fixed in version 30
However I saw a bug appearing with it
