I've been of the opinion that chords should be given their own "staff" (zero lines?) and not be attached as if they were articuations to another staff. They have their own rhythmic pattern, often independent of the other staves, and they quite often (in what I do) are played/read by separate instrumentalists (e.g., rhythm guitarists). From a music spacing point of view, it would also be easier if the chord line were treated as a staff line, although the method Finale currently offers is not that bad at all.
