3. Enter the text for the chord symbol:
• Enter the root note and the chord quality, then any extensions.
• To add a bass note, type a slash, then the bass note.
• After you enter a number, everything following it is placed in the upper extension
line. If you write “G7(b9/b13),” the whole “7(b9/b13)” is placed in the upper line, and
the lower line remains blank.
• If you enter letters before a number (FMAJ7/9, for example), the letters appear in the
lower line, and everything following the first number, in the upper line.
• You can override the automatic placement by entering a comma: everything before
the comma is placed in the lower line, and everything after it, in the upper line. Only
one comma can be used.
• You can type a space to create additional horizontal space between the root and the
extension.
• While the chord symbol is selected in the score, you can reposition it by dragging
horizontally or vertically.

point moves to the position of the next (displayed) note or rest. Enter the desired chord
