I have moved from Sibelius 5 and 8 to Sibelius Ultimate and have run into this problem with regard to chord symbols. In the previous versions the numerals in chord symbols (i.e., 7, 9, 4, etc.) were superscript. When I bring a score from a previous version into Ultimate it retains the superscript format but if I replace or edit a chord symbol, the new (or edited) symbol utilizes a non-superscript numeral. I want all of the numerals to be superscript. I have attempted to find a solution through Engraving Rules but thus far, no success. Any thoughts? Thank you.

You need to set the chord symbo;s to Legacy in File-->Preferences-->Other and tick Use legacy chord symbols.
