Diminished Chord Symbols

I have an Adim chord and Chord Symbol is showing as Am(b5). How can I get this to to show as just Adim? I changed the note input option to from m(maj7)b5 to dim(maj7)…this was the only option I can find that had diminished. This didn’t help.

… Can I change it the same way in Dorico for iPad?

Thanks

No I’m afraid, only in Engraving Options for Pro or a dedicated dialog on the Library menu for Elements.

Hallo Alexander, where can I find the Chord Symbols. I don’t see them in Engrave. Thanks in advance.

You can access Engraving Options via the Library menu, or by pressing Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E.

Thank you for your quick answer, Lillie! So 1) Library; 2) Engraving Options! 3) Chord Symbols.. and change what you want to change. And ofcourse, it works!
