How to include chord diagrams without chord symbols

Hi i am using dorico 3.5. I have a section of written out guitar parts that incude some written chords. I would like to put diagrams above these voicings to show the guitarist how to play them. However, I do not want to label the chords with chord symbols in this section of the piece. how do i do this?

I can’t remember what options are in 3.5, but in 5.1 at least just click this Property in Engrave mode:

Upgrade? If that’s not an option, you can probably remove it by deleting the chord symbol off of the PDF, or importing a graphic to cover it. Do you have a Y offset value just for chord symbols? You could potentially just blast it off the page too.
