As far as I know, you can only attach chords to "real" objects, and "beats" do not qualify. So the method I use when I need the results that I think you seek is to put rests (usually quarter notes) in a layer (usually layer 4) which is hidden, but which allows items attached to those rests to show. That way, you can attach chords to those hidden rests, which act like "beat anchors," and superimpose that layer over another layer which contains the specific note information to which the chords relate. It is possible to devise a system for doing this so that the chords alone can be lifted and copied from place to place and document to document by copying only the active layer, choosing the layer that has the chords, and dropping that layer where you need it - over a section which already contains notes.
Hope this helps you.

3) Typing C_E (that's underscore, shift-hyphen) will give you what you
asked,
Thank you so much for this tip. I can't believe I didn't know this for
this long. When was it implemented? Not before Finale went to PDF
manual, I know :-)
I finally received the PDF manual, but I was bummed out that it is
printed in half and it's side way. This is so hard for my bedtime reading!
One more Chord question.
I don't like chord attached to a note. I would like to have chord
attached to a beat. I can't find it in manual if this is possible.
