Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
Vertical alignment of chord symbols takes into account the border when chord symbols are offset from the staff by a regular notation element like notes (first half of video).
However, when attached to fretboard diagrams, adding a border to a chord symbol will not move the other chord symbols to keep them vertically aligned with the one with the border (second half of video).
