Bad spacing in chord symbols with accidentals
Coming from Finale, I recently started trying MuseScore version 4.4.3, and noticed that a full space is left between the chord letter and accidental in chords like "E-flat." I mentioned this to someone who uses an earlier version of MuseScore, and she said it's not broken in version 3, so this is a recent problem. I can't find a user setting for this spacing, and honestly, it shouldn't need one. It should just default to a normal, correct spacing. See the E-flat chord in this sample.
Does anyone have work-arounds, or an idea of why this was broken in the first place? Thanks for any tips.

Won't happen if you'd use Edwin, the default font for chord symbols. Does happen with many other fonts though and is an issue with those fonts and the kerning info in it for that glyph

Okay. That font (Brioso Pro) is my "house" font for my tune book, a recent issue from Adobe, and I assumed the kerning info was probably good (since it works in every other program I've got). But that also probably explains why the other user didn't have an issue... she was likely using the Edwin font.
I also see that when I switch to "default style" not only does it change the chord font to Edwin, but the flat symbol gets quite a bit smaller, and that might also explain why my sample (with a larger flat) has a larger spacing. Do you know offhand where the control for the size of the flat symbol is found in MuseScore? In Style settings: Chord symbols, changing the values for "Chord Extension" affects the chord suffix but not the flat, and changing the value for "Chord Modifier" doesn't seem to do anything. In Style settings: Text Settings: Chord Symbols, "Musical symbols scale" doesn't affect the flat symbol.
Thanks for the quick response.
