Version 3.4.2/3.5 alpha/3.x dev/master (Windows 10)

1) Default score
2) Add the C fret diagram in measure 5 (no matter, just to avoid the Title frame)
3) Select the chord name (C)

4) In Inspector: disable automatic placement

5) "Y" offset: change to - 1 sp.

6) Save/Quit/Reload

Result: unexpected, custom offset is lost, chord name is totally misplaced on the diagram.

Well, I'm not sure I understand everything anymore, and how it's supposed to work.

  1. For the first issue, the offset has been applied in the "Element" section. I probably made a mistake (a common one by the way), I'm not in the right place?
    Or is it supposed to work anyway after Save?

  2. But if I select the same chord, and change to "Below", the chord name doesn't move. This is not the expected result (at least for me!) Having said that, I can conceive that the use case may not be frequent and habitual.

  3. Finally, instead of Inspector, if I go to Style -> Chords symbols -> Distance to fret diagram (default 1.00 sp): if I change to 1.50 sp, nothing moves. Why? Only from 2.00. And you can't get intermediate values, 1.20 and so on.
    Expected behaviour, or not, or something buggy (eg for 1.50) ?
