Hi,
Hopefully an easy fix when you know how.
My C minor 7 flat 5 chord is displayed as follows Cm7B5

I obviously want the flat symbol ♭ not the B.

I am entering the chords by typing the letters C-m-7-b-5 or just C-H.

Using "PG Chord" font, what can possibly be wrong?

I just tested this, and you are right. Yes, it looks odd. I don't use that font so I had not noticed.

I will report this to the developers. I wonder if it has always been this way?

Never have seen that issue here... gotta be a font issue.

Definitely a font issue, using the PG Chord font, the flat symbol is not displayed for extensions/alterations, but for other fonts it is.
Apparently a bug, if the developers are reading!

Matt mentioned that he has reported it, and the developers will definitely be aware of the issue.

In the meantime, if you want the flat symbol to be displayed properly, switch from PG Chords to Big Band Chords. Right click a bar, select Display Options, and like in Music Student's post, under chords, select Big Band Chords, and you should be fine.


I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Thanks for the tip Gary, that's what I ended up doing!
I just love those PG fonts, very cool & design classics.
