Hi all!

If I select a chord symbol with right mouse click en choose for chord symbol -> add chord diagram then the diagram is under the chord symbol.
Is there a way to put it above the chord cymbol?

Thx !

You can edit many things about chord diagrams, but I can't find what you want anywhere.
I've never seen an arrangement like you want.

Just gone through a whole heap of 'fake books'. All have the diagrams under the chord symbols. I can't recall seeing it done the other way.

Gould and Gardner-Read's books don't seem to cover chord symbols (well, I couldn't find them in a hurry) but Alfred's Dictionary of Music Notation is very clear: "Chord symbols are always placed above chord diagrams."

So that's why Sibelius does what it does and nothing else.
