It looks OK on the Chord Sheet view. My goal is to have the Notation view and the printouts be readable ala the Chord Sheet view wrt. chord quality part of the chord. IOW, I need a larger font for the chord quality part of the chords in the Notation view and the printouts. How exactly can I accomplish this?

I agree that something doesn't seem right. I'll pass the link to this thread on to the development team. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2026 audios on Soundcloud

In fact I already had, hence the question. (In my case, you can count on that.) Simply changing to the Jazz Chord Symbols font did not give me your top (readable) display, unfortunately. Extra details on exactly what you changed and where are welcome if you care to provide them. An alternative would be to post a file from 'Save scheme' in the display options dialog. It should be impossible for me to load your scheme and not see what you see. (At least that's the theory!)

The route via the Notation Window Options dialog gets you to second base.
