Hi, all, RE: Flats in chord symbols. I'm using Musescore 2.3.2 on a MacBook Pro and have started to have a problem with a flat in a chord symbol - like bV - which will revert to a capital B for some reason after I enter it. When I click in the edit box, it views correctly as a flat sign, but then reverts to the Cap B as soon as I tab or leave the edit mode. I'm using a jazz lead sheet format.

Anyone seen this? What can I do? Thanks

bV is not something that forma a cord symbols, the first letter of a chord symbol is a note name not a flat sign, so a b indeed means the note B, a Bb means B flat. A V is not part of any chord symbol either. But maybe yopu want roman nimeral anylsyis? If so upgrade to MuseScore 3.3, it has been implemented there
