You can change whether individual chord symbols automatically move to avoid collisions, independently of your project-wide setting. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Chord symbols with collision avoidance disabled do not contribute to automatic staff spacing calculations.

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
- In Engrave mode, select the chord symbols whose collision avoidance you want to enable/disable.
- In the Properties panel, activate Avoid collisions in the Chord Symbols group.
- Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.
The selected chord symbols avoid collisions when the checkbox is activated, and do not avoid collisions when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
When the property is deactivated, chord symbols follow your project-wide setting.
You can enable/disable collision avoidance for all chord symbols project-wide in the Chord Symbols Options dialog.
