ok, got the sound back, but still trying to print.

in notation window, i click file > print song, which brings up a print options window over double-staff w/ key sig & chord symbols.

preview graphics shows only chord symbols, but that’s ok, it's what i want to hand out to my jazz band.

when I click ‘print…’ I get back to the print options window (as you observed) but when I click OK-Print I get bar lines but no chords; almost as tho the chords are printed in white...

Don't know if this will help but I'm pretty inexperienced with notation?printing stuff and have been driven nuts a few times.

It seems to me that you have to get a LOT of things right...and navigate to several menues re: printing.

Try the following.

1. From Lead sheet window
Opt....then upper left and be sure "chords" is checked.

Upper center
Notation Options then
2. Lower left....select Jazz Fonts and check jazz symbols

Click OK and OK to get back to Lead sheet window then

3. Upper left....Print then Print Options

Upper Left check chords and staff lines boxes.

then OK-Preview Graphics to see if it's what you want.

then Print...which takes you back to where you just left then

OK-Print.

NOTE: This may be VASTLY more convoluted then how the pros do it but I had some of your same issues and I guess my point is that you may get what you need by making sure that ALL the issues on ALL the print-related menues are correct.

Another final note...again from a notation dunce...I found the need to inspect EVERY SINGLE aspect of EACH menu in the Notation and Print menu chain to see what might be relevant to what I am trying to do. Just had to force myself to LOOK AT and assess every aspect of the menues.

Good luck.
