754 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
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.
For more information, see “Rest” on page 786.
