Re: [Finale] Chord suffix placement
[grumble] Yes, you have edit EACH AND EVERY stupid suffix in the tiny Chord Suffix Edit window, lowering each character by the required amount. As an alternative, you could find the same character in a different font (I noticed that the JazzCord sharps, for example, have way different default heights from the Jazz sharps, though they look very similar in every other way) and test it out to see if it helps. I did this once, and it took me a week to do my entire library. I still didn't like the result perfectly (I was nudging items left and right, too.)

Re: [Finale] Chord suffix placement
Oh THAT! That's not part of the suffix! I thought you meant the b in b5. which IS part of the suffix. You find this in Doc OptionsChordsChord Alteration Baseline Adjustment sharps flats and naturals. Edit this once to change it for EVERY instance in the document. Easy. C.

Re: [Finale] Chord suffix placement
Carl - Look at Chords in the Doc Options and you'll find 3 boxes that will allow you to adjust the baselines of accidentals (alterations) on chords. Lower the number for the flat and see if that solves this issue for you.
