I've just built the binary and you can download it from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20727193/mscore.exe > I suppose I also need to make sure all is well with the MuseJazz font in > terms of the symbols we moved (flat, sharp, coda, etc), and that I will need > to update the chord symbol style files, unless I did that already. I think the files in the nightly build should all be ok. Especially if you get a recent nightly, I updated stdchords.xml just before the weekend to include spaces in the render text, so that flats and sharps get shown properly in the alterations. A few points regarding symbol layout: a) A chord symbol never crosses the barline at the end of a measure. b) A chord symbol at the beginning of a measure can be dragged left to overlap the barline if necessary. c) If chords are dragged vertically to be clear of each other, they are allowed to overlap horizontally. d) There is a spacing parameter in the General Style for chord names. e) When a chord symbol is clicked on to edit, it jumps down vertically, and then returns to the correct position when exiting edit mode or moving to another symbol. This is an alignment issue with unstyled text that I haven't worked out the solution for yet. I'll look forward to your feedback.
