Lee,

You do that in the chord tool.  Click the handle of the chord in question, look on the upper right of the dialog box that comes up and make sure that "Show Advanced" is selected.  Then look at the bottom and click on "edit".  Then you are in control of horizontal and vertical placements of all elements of the chord suffix.

If you want to edit all instances of that chord suffix, click on "select" and the chord library will show, and you can edit each symbol.

At the risk of sounding like a commercial for Bill Duncan (again), his chord font is particularly attractive to me.  If it looks good to you (see <http://www.gwmp.com/MusicFontsFrameset.htm>), and it's worth it to pay for that, rather than spend time fussing, that's an alternative.  I spent a long time getting a chord suffix library that was acceptable to me and then converted to Bill's chords, because I found them more attractive and easier to read than my own.

Chuck,
Thanks!  Now, what about raising the 7 in a 7th chord?

Lee,

Document Options>Chords>Chord Alteration Baseline Adjustment.  Put in a positive number for each element you want to raise.

Hi All,
 
How do you raise the horizontal placement for flats, sharps, etc. in chord symbols?  Thanks to anyone who can help.
