Hiding/Showing chord symbols
You can hide/show chord symbols above particular staves or only within chord symbol/slash
regions project-wide on a per-player basis. By default, chord symbols appear above rhythm
section instrument staves, such as keyboards, guitars, and bass guitars.
PROCEDURE
1. In Setup mode, select a player in the Players panel for whom you want to hide/show chord
symbols.
2. Right-click the player and choose one of the following options from the context menu:
To show chord symbols above all instrument staves held by the player, choose Chord
Symbols > Show For All Instruments.
To show chord symbols only above rhythm section instrument staves held by the player,
choose Chord Symbols > Show For Rhythm Section Instruments.
To show chord symbols only in chord symbol/slash regions on instrument staves held by
the player, choose
Chord Symbols > Show in Chord Symbol and Slash Regions.
To hide chord symbols above all instrument staves held by the player, choose Chord
Symbols > Hide For All Instruments.
RESULT
Chord symbols are hidden/shown above the corresponding instrument staves held by the
selected player, depending on the layouts in which chord symbols are shown for that player in
your project.
TIP
You can also hide/show individual chord symbols in layouts where chord symbols are shown by
selecting them and activating
Hidden in the Chord Symbols group of the Properties panel.
Signposts are shown at the position of each hidden chord symbol. However, signposts are not
printed by default.
You can assign a key command for Hide/Show Item on the Key Commands page in
Preferences, which applies to chord symbols, playing techniques, and time signatures.
