I have Sibelius Ultimate (Mac OS 10.15.7) and would like to maintain the style of chord symbols that I am used to from Sibelius 5. I no longer have Sibelius 5 installed on a computer so I am unable to copy and transfer the chord library file. I have the Sibelius 5 CD but it will not work in my newer Mac OS. Is there a way that I can access that chord symbol library file? Thank you. (I know it seems like a minor detail but as I edit older work I end up with differing styles of chord symbols in the same pieces. I value the consistency of appearance.)

Are you talking about a custom chord symbol set?

Or, if you've moved from Sib 5 to Ultimate, that you can't create the chord symbols you used to? If that's the issue, you can choose the option to use 'Legacy Chord Symbols', which will allow you to create anything that you did in Sib 5.
