Transposition of Chord Symbols
Chord symbols inserted into transposing staff styles are automatically transposed, just
like notes. Further to this, if the Transposition parameter (for playback transposition) in
the Region Parameter box is changed, all chord symbols in the MIDI region will be
affected accordingly.
German Chord Symbols: H Instead of B
If you choose one of the German Chord Symbol settings in the Chord Symbol
Language menu of the Score project settings’ Global tab, the note B in all chord
symbols is displayed with its German name H. The English B flat is written as B or Bb,
when German chord symbols are displayed.
Note: The German (H, B, F#) setting is activated automatically, as soon as the letter H is
used during chord symbol input.
Graphical Position of Chord Symbols
Each chord symbol is stored at a certain bar position in a MIDI region (there will often
also be a note at that same bar position).
The Event Parameter box Align option determines which part of the chord symbol is
aligned to the bar position: the left edge, center, or right edge of the letter
representing the chord root. The setting for newly inserted chord symbols is always
“def.“: this default alignment matches the setting chosen in the Chord Symbol
Alignment menu—found in the Layout tab of the Score project settings.
Rhythm Section Parts
Typically, rhythm section parts are notated with chord symbols and beat slashes. If you
want to create this type of part, choose a staff style with a Rest parameter set to Slash.

Rest ” on page 752.
