Aligning chord names above chord diagrams
Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone can help with the default formatting of chord names over chord diagrams. Currently the align to the right. Ideally I would like to centre them. I can drag them hand but it's very imprecise and time consuming. Is there a place I can change this?
Example is attached for reference.
Thanks everyone,
Jeremy

Well, it is the other way round, the fretboard diagram apparently is left aligned. Check what happesn when you change the number of strings. with 6 strings it aligns with the chord symbol, reducing strings does so by taking them away on the right hand side without moving the diagram, so ist left edge stays at the same place, similar when adding strings.
You can change their horizontal offset in the Inspector, even all on one go, select one, right-click, select all similar, then change horizontal Offset. 0.50sp should be good for 4-string diagrams

Thanks Jojo - yes, I'm doing ukulele songs so need the 4 string diagrams. Could you tell me where to find the horizontal offset? I can only find the offset for verticle and text editing.
sorry! Thanks. Jeremy

In the inspector, F8

Actually, much easier / better solution: simply set the text style for chord symbols (right click one, Text Style) to center alignment instead of left. This automatically centers all chord symbols - those already entered as well as those yet to be entered in this score.

Yes, Marc, that's better actually. Thank you.
