However, the Coda symbol is replaced by a large "Fl". Attempted to select "other" fonts in print option, but that just crashes the programme. Occurred on Build 143 ... updated to Build 146 ... no change.

It prints fine from the old Windows Biab version 11, which I run under Parallels, but fails miserably Mac 2016 version. I've attached a dropbox link to the .MGU which you can download if you wish (I tried it downloading from the link ,,, no problems. Can't upload MGU files to this forum, I'm afraid ... I've tried other MGUs ... same result in Sierra/Mac 2016 Sierra is 10.12.1 level, and Biab 2016 is build 146 Thanks for your interest. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ulysxzykbxs1yy/You%20Go%20To%20My%20Head.MGU?dl=0

In addition to your discovery when i bring up the lead sheet window there are " missing " letters ( for a lack of a better explanation ). Hope the screen shot makes it clear. There are obviously some graphical glitches that the PG team hopefully will address/correct soon. For greater certainty this is happening in macOS Sierra .

I downloaded your .MGU file from Dropbox and see the same results (as you attached above) for the Coda symbols. I tried DS al Coda on a new test file and got the same results. Broken. (The missing letters in Title sub-fields can be easily fixed by just re-entering the missing letters.)

(But I'd expect no less from Mac users :} I shall await the Biab gnomes to address the issue(s) raised. Mr Mags ... I've done some chord arrangement tuning on the original file I posted if you are interested. http://www89.zippyshare.com/v/HLVfIh3j/file.html You are also correct re the other graphical glitches .... Ciao

What I do get when I hit the back arrow to get out of the site is a warning that my iPad has 6 viruses. WTF has happened twice.
