My chords are not coming up as they should.
When I will inset a chord, I first get only a little square. I then have to drag the square out, so I can write in it. And it is normal text in the square, not "Chordsymbol-text" as normal.

So:
I need to get rid of the little square and get my normal chord symbol function back.
I use the shortcut cmd+k or "Text" and "chord symbol" menu.
What to do???

Are you running an older version of Sibelius and have you upgraded to Big Sur?

If so, you'll have to downgrade your OS or upgrade to the latest version of Sibelius. The only versions that work are the last two 2020 versions, 9 and 12. Nothing before that is compatible.

Thanks for you answer.
I use Big Sur
I will try to update and see if it will fix the problem.
