Unwanted automatic chord playing
How soon until we get a release that suppresses the automatic chord playing? I reckon I have about 2000 extra keystrokes in the past 6 weeks turning off this undesired feature. Is there a beta version out there that gets rid of this? thanks

We always delay the automatic update with a couple of days in case we screwed up badly.
No beta needed, 3.5.1 just got released and disables chord symbols playback by default for pre-3.5 scores
For the record, if you literally never (or almost never want) chord symbols to playback, no additional keystrokes are needed even with 3.5 if you simply create a template or style file that has it turned off. Do it once, and you're done.
The 3.5.1 release had a few technical glitches that are being addressed. When the dust settles, you'll also have a new preference to force the style setting off.

Can you point me to a link that explains in one place how to set up a template, save it, and make it the default for all further operations? Thanks

To be clear though: templates are the answer if all your score use the same or substantially similar instrumentation. If instead you create scores for a wide variety of different instrumentation, and wish for them all to disable chord symbol playback, you will want to set a default style. So set up one score the way you want, then Format / Save Style, then go to Edit / Preferences / Score and select that style as your default.
As mentioned, once the release situation is straightened out, a single preference checkbox will force chord symbol playback in all new scores.
