How to raise all chord symbols in a line or system by a defined amount?
Sometimes I have to raise a chord symbol up a bit to prevent it from overlapping a note. When I do this, just to keep things neat, I prefer to raise all the chord symbols on that line similarly. In past, I just 'wing it', moving each symbol with my mouse and judging by eye how far to raise it.
Is there a way to move all the symbols on a line up by a defined number of pixels (above the default value)?
Thanks for your help,
Bob

You can right click any chord symbol and select Text Style (not text properties) and any changes you make will be applied to all Chord Symbols.

Thank you! As I understand the docs, using the style edit menu raises all chord symbols. Is there a way to raise just the symbols in one line?

Click one, shift+click the others, then use the offset in Inspector to move them

Wonderful, thanks. (I had the Inspector hidden, and didn't realize what it did; very useful tool.)
