You can set a font for both chord letter and the suffix in the Fonts section of Document Options, located in the Options menu. Select Symbol and Suffix from the Chord popup menu then click on Set Font, for each item, and choose the font you want. While you are in the Document Options window, click on Music Spacing and check the Chords box under the "Avoid Collision of" heading. This will handle your spacing issue. If you need to adjust the default position of the alteration (sharp, flat or natural sign) go to the Chord heading in Document Options and adjust it there.
If you need to change the font for an existing suffix library, that can be done in the Chord tool. Select Change Chord Suffix Fonts from the Chord menu (second item from the bottom).

Hello Finale;
�
I am familiar with how one changes the fonts of chord symbols to be larger and more readable. But I don't understand why some chord suffixes revert back to the eensy-teensy font sizes that existed before I used the fonts option.
�
I would like to see ALL the chord symbols�come out�at the same readable size (say 16 pico) when I type them in using the "type into score," and have it remember that for all future projects. How does one accomplish that?
�
BTW, how does one prevent the chord symbols from running together when there are several in a measure, i.e. one per quarter note. The note spacing algorithm does not take chord spacing into account as far as I can determine, for the chords attached to the notes.

Yours; Bill S.
