Chord symbol line numbers allow you to show multiple rows of different chord symbols for the same musical passage; for example, to indicate alternate harmonies, or specific chord changes within a broader harmonic progression.

The musical passage with two chord symbol lines

In Dorico Elements, you can specify the line number of chord symbols as you input them and by changing the line number of existing chord symbols. You can have multiple lines of chord symbols both above and below the same staff.

Chord symbols in Line 1 are positioned closest to the staff, both above and below the staff. The higher the line number, the further away from the staff the chord symbol line is positioned.

Note

Only chord symbols in Line 1 play back and appear in the Chords track in Play mode.
