Showing Chord Symbols Setup Question


I have a horn part measure with a notated pitch in one voice and chord slashes in another voice. In Setup, I have the horn parts setup to only display chord symbols on Slash Regions. I want the chord symbol to appear in this measure, but since the measure is not a slash region (because I want to see the notated pitch in it), the chord symbol doesn’t appear. How can I override that measure - or set it up another way - to see the chord symbol in it?

Have you tried inserting a Chord Symbol Region in the bar in question?

Yes, but then it does not display the pitch I also want in that measure. Is there a way to include a pitch in a chord slash region or set some kind of override to have chords appear on a non-chord slash region?

How often does this situation happens?

Maybe just fake it with Staff Text ?

Read the link to the manual that John posted. A chord symbol region is not the same thing as a slash region. It’s exactly the thing you’re asking for: “An override to have chords appear.”

That was it. Thanks!

Chord Symbol Regions and Slash Regions are two different things, but both show chord symbols. Slash regions are green, Chord Symbol Regions are lilac/light purple.
