I want all of the letters associated with chord symbols to be bold.
I don’t understand how I even did overrides in all honesty.
Well, if I do that, then all of the other ones will no longer look like how the chords look in the original lead sheet I’m copying from.
As I said, did you check the settings under Library->Engraving Options->Chord Symbols?
Jesper
What setting? You didn’t mention any setting.
Or if you want to keep your overrides, just change the one with a plain font.
Jesper
If I do that, then the “E” won’t be bold.
So, what do I do?
I don’t know how you want it to look, but as I said, set a bold font, then check all the options under Library->Engraving Options->Chord Symbols, and set the ones that you want. You can try the different presets first and start with the one that is the closest. You can save those settings as default. I don’t think you need any overrides except in rare circumstances.
Jesper
No, I said, change the override that had a plain font to a bold font, obviously.
Again, better not to use any overrides unless you really must, and learn the setting under Engraving Options.
Jesper
That’s not helping me at all. I’m going to go.
Have you had a look at the Engraving Option for Chord Symbols?
1st step: Take your time to read and go through all the options.
2nd step: Only then deal with your font choice for Chord Symbols in general.
Last step: This step won’t be necessary if you have thoroughly worked through the first and second steps. Theoretically, you can produce an override to a specific case - but that should rather not be necessary.
I’m not sure how it can be any clearer, and a little polite appreciation for other users giving their time and expertise will probably get you more help rather than less.
