Hiding/Showing chord symbols

You can hide/show chord symbols above particular staves or only within chord symbol/slash

regions project-wide on a per-player basis. By default, chord symbols appear above rhythm

section instrument staves, such as keyboards, guitars, and bass guitars.

Any player on whose staff you input chord symbols is automatically set to show chord symbols

for all instruments in the current layout.

PROCEDURE

In Setup mode, select a player in the Players panel for whom you want to hide/show chord

symbols.

Right-click the player and choose one of the following options from the context menu:

● To show chord symbols above all instrument staves held by the player, choose Chord

Symbols > Show for All Instruments.

● To show chord symbols only above rhythm section instrument staves held by the player,

choose

Chord Symbols > Show for Rhythm Section Instruments.

● To show chord symbols only in chord symbol/slash regions on instrument staves held by

the player, choose Chord Symbols > Show in Chord Symbol and Slash Regions.

● To hide chord symbols above all instrument staves held by the player, choose Chord

Symbols > Hide for All Instruments.

RESULT

Chord symbols are hidden/shown above the corresponding instrument staves held by the

selected player, depending on the layouts in which chord symbols are shown for that player

in your project.

TIP

● You can choose to show chord symbols only once at the top of each system in each layout

independently.

● You can also hide/show individual chord symbols in layouts where chord symbols are shown

by selecting them and activating Hidden in the Chord Symbols group of the Properties

panel. Signposts are shown at the position of each hidden chord symbol. However, signposts

are not printed by default.

You can assign a key command for Hide/Show Item on the Key Commands page in

Preferences, which applies to chord symbols, playing techniques, gured bass, text objects,

and time signatures.
