Question about Dorico 6, Kerning Chord Symbols

Hi Everyone!!!

First of all, congratulations to the development Team for such a fenomenal upgrade: Dorico 6! I’m so happy seeing Dorico growing and growing. Dorico 6 is the best music editing software in the whole world for me.

I’ve being reading some posts about kerning chord symbols and I have a question (that I know for sure it wasn’t possible before this last update, i.e. Dorico 5) but perhaps now it can be done.

Anyone knows if it is now possible, in Dorico 6, kerning text, like the space between the (#11), i.e. moving, adjusting the space between these five characters?: (#11), the space between:
# 1
1 1

I really appreciate your time to let me know if this is possible now, I’ve been waiting since Dorico 1.2 back in 2017 to be able to edit my books and arrangements the way I did in Finale, which it was a pain but it could be done, to move every character independently, move each one horizontally and vertically.

I always liked to emulate the hand writing of people like Thad Jones, etc. into my own.
Please, don’t get into if this is correct or incorrect, or why anyone would want to do this.

Thanks a lot for reading this message.
All the best

Hi Maarten,

Thank you so much for your suggestion, I’ve watched the video several times and I think that all questions are answered in this video by Anthony Hughes.

Thank you for point it out.
