Once you’ve created or edited chord suffixes (or taught Finale to recognize “learned chords”) in a document, you can save them in a separate library with its own title and icon on your hard disk. The next time you want to add chord symbols to a piece, you can load this library, thus saving yourself the time it would take to create or edit the chord symbols (or learned chords) again.

To create or load a Chord Suffix Library

1. Choose File > Save Library. The Save Library dialog box appears.
2. Click Chord Suffixes, and then click OK (or press ENTER). You’re then asked to title the new library.
3. Type in a title and click OK (or press ENTER). The next time you want to add those chord symbols to a piece, simply load the library you just created (choose Load Library from the File menu) and enter chord symbols in the usual way.
