Hi Christopher,
I tried this before I posted my original question to the list; It doesn't work. Neither does changing the underline depth. I think you were right when you assumed that the horizontal separator line is a character in a hard-wired font that is not currently editable.
No, you are right, it won't affect the polychord slash. But, if you are entering the upper chord as a lyric, with Underscore style selected, it will affect this underscore, so that info might be of some help.
(I'm also aware of using shape expressions, lyric verses with underscores, and smart shape lines as workarounds; I was only wondering if the vertical spacing and horizontal separator line of chord symbols with a vertically-aligned alternate root was editable).
Thanks, Brian Williams
Apparently (I have not tried to edit it myself) the FAN file of the font determines the space around each character. You may be able to edit this file if you really need to adjust the vertical space for polychords, and entering the upper structure as a lyric doesn't work for you.
This really is miserable, isn't it? Of all the microscopic little things one can adjust automatically in Finale, this is one HUGE thing that needs to be kludged with a sledge hammer. Grr.

Options>Document Options>Lines has an option at the bottom for Postscript options, Underscore thickness. I haven't tried it (no time right now), but this might increase the thickness for polychord underscores. It will probably affect any OTHER underscores you use in the same document, but that might be no problem.
