This has only happened recently. Did I accidentally change a setting? Could it be because I upgraded to the latest build the other day?

Locate cursor on appropriate beat. 3. Press CTRL+F2 to open the chord box. 4. Type Dm and then enter. Only D appeared as the chord. I'll report this to the development team so that they are aware of it. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

I only use the chordsheet view to enter chords, so I can't say what used to be the case. Thanks to Noel for reporting it to the developers. Following... BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

In other words, in notation mode alone without the ability to edit, it was ok. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

According to the manual, it is only the 'n' that should do this. It would seem that 'm' has also been assigned this role by accident. I will report my discovery to Team PG. MY SONGS...
