I see there was a thread last year that posed this problem and wonder if any one has resolved it. BTW it was not a problem in previous versions only 2.5.5 (to my knowledge) I use layering to put lyrics under one stave and chords over another. I also use boundary properties to adjust the space between staves, and therefore the lyric and chord text to avoid confusion. This was quite easy in v 2.2 but seems to be impossible in v 2.5.5 as the staff properties appear to be linked. It will make life very difficult if I have to revert but at the moment I see no other option. Can anyone help please.
How can I use symbols in Staff Lyrics? I enter chord names using Staff Lyrics above a hidden, layered stave and rests with Lyric Syllable set to “always”. I would like to be able to use jazz symbols such as ∆ Ø for major and half diminished chords as in C∆7 or CØ. Unfortunately it does not seem possible to use symbols in Staff Lyrics only in the text editor (insert text command) which does not suit my arrangements. Using Lyrics I can have the chord names line up exactly with any note I want by varying the rest duration and easily move the names up and down without having to delete and re-enter them. I have tried installing new fonts but this doesn’t seem to work. Can anyone help please? Many thanks John
