To move chord symbols up or down

  1. Click the Chord tool  image\Chord_Tool.gif.
  2. Click the staff containing the chord symbols. Four small arrows appear at the left edge of the screen. These arrows control the baseline for the chord symbols—the line against which the bottoms of the chord symbols align. (Make sure Position Chords is selected in the Chord menu.)
  3. If you want to move more than one chord symbol, drag the positioning triangles up or down. Drag the first (leftmost) triangle up or down to move all the chords in the piece. Drag the second triangle to move the chords in this staff only, regardless of the position of the leftmost triangle. Drag the third triangle, in Page View, to move the chords in this staff in this system only. Dragging the rightmost triangle doesn’t move any existing chord symbols; instead, it sets the position for the next one you enter.

Note. View the Using the positioning triangles QuickStart Video for a demonstration of how to use the positioning triangles.
