Hi Chuck and Mike, While this won't solve the underlying issue you're both talking about, I thought it would be worth mentioning another input method that can work in these situations that doesn't require using the mouse (which you may already know about). The drag is that is requires memorizing the suffix's placement in the library - the number of the "box" that it occupies (assuming the suffix exists already, of course).
While in "Type into Score", you type the letter name of the root, followed by a colon, followed by the number of the "slot" from the library (e.g. my "add9" happens to be in slot 22, so if I type C:22 I get that symbol). If you don't have too many suffixes that you need to do this way, it's not too cumbersome, although obviously it would be preferable to be able to just type as we do for the other ones. Again, you probably know this already, but may not have had reason to use it in this context. Doug On Dec 17, 2012, at 10:26 AM, Chuck Israels wrote: > I have a similar problem with sus4 suffixes.
