You can change the vertical alignment of individual extender lines relative to the corresponding chord symbols; for example, to show extender lines aligned with the bottom of chord symbols. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite
  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure
  1. In Engrave mode, select the chord symbol extender lines whose vertical alignment you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Extender line Y offset in the Chord Symbols group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.
Result

Increasing the value moves extender lines upwards relative to chord symbols, decreasing the value moves them downwards.

If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
