Description

Your idea

Working with a lot of Piano + Vocal Scores, I'm bugged by the fact that Chord Sybols belong to the Piano Part but should be displayed above the Vocal Part (just on top of the score).

I have not encountered any good solution for that.

grafik

My suggestion would be: just give Chord Symbols the options to be displayed:

  • above/below the staff
  • above below the group (e.g. marked by a clef)
  • above below the score

Another proper way to integrate this would be a separate Chord Track/Staff that be be dragged wherever I want in the Instrument's Panel.

Problem to be solved

Chord Symbols do not display in the same way as published sheet music handles this by default
