I know what’s going on. There are TWO different dialogue boxes called “Chord Suffix Selection”. One has the edit and create buttons; the other doesn’t. This IS a stupid thing, because I often want the create buttons when the one that lacks them is open, and I’ve complained about this for about a decade, but they aren’t interested in changing it.
To get to the one that HAS the edit buttons, enter a chord in your score, any chord. Make sure it’s selected in the Chord Tool (drag around it if you can’t see the tiny little handle) and hit Enter. The Chord Definition dialogue box opens. Click the button Show Advanced in the top right (if it isn’t already clicked) to open up more options (Finale will remember this setting so you don’t have to click it every time). Almost at the very bottom, click Suffix ID> Select. NOW you get the right dialogue box! Once you are done, please open up a tech support ticket at MakeMusic to complain about this, because they will change it if they get enough complaints.
