Bill,
Select "Show active layer only." Fill Layer 4 of measure 1 with
quarter rests. Copy that measure to the rest of your document. Turn
off "Show active layer only." Enter your chords in Layer 4. Then
apply the Staff Style "Blank Notation (Layer 4)" to the entire
document.

When generating a lead sheet, it is often desirable to have chords that

with the way finale anchors chords, since it the chord anchor must be
on a
tied note, note or rest. I have not seen any way to anchor a chord to
a note
that's not in the staff.
One can generate an artificial chord anchor by breaking a long note
into
tied notes, but that makes it awkward to read the music, and it's not
good
notation practice.
I tried hanging chords onto alternate layers, but that means sticking
notes
into the score that don't belong, and I have not figured out how to
suppress
the printing out of the alternate layers. That really confuses things.
Has anyone figured out a way around this?
