Adjust Space in Chord Symbols
How do I adjust the Space in Chord symbols between the Key and any additional sign?
I used the standard settings. Unfortunally the Chord Symbols Eb and Bb are had to identify (see picture).

This is a known issue in 1.x and will be fixed in 2.0, which you can test today as a nightly build.
A workaround is to tweak the file stdchords.xml in a certain way.
I changed it from
{syntaxhighlighter brush:xml}
:n m:0:-1 :a m:.5:1
m:0:2 / :n :a
{/syntaxhighlighter}
to
{syntaxhighlighter brush:xml}
:n m:1:-1 :a m:-.5:1
m:1:-1 / :n :a
{/syntaxhighlighter}
Seems to me those are *not* the standard settings, though - the default would have been to use the same Times New Roman font for chord symbols as for titles. I think the spacing works better with that font. But since you are creating a jazz chart, you might prefer using one of the "jazz" chord description files such as cchords_muse.xml. See [[nodetitle:Chordname]] for more on how these work. Formatting works quite well right out of the box when using any of these.

It is the standard setting, using Times New Roman...
At least that is what I have the problem with.

The picture attached doesn't look like Times New Roman to me - it seems to be some sort of sans serif font. The issue looks worse with the font he is using than it is with Times New Roman, although to be sure, it's not great with TNR either.

Well, it is TNR for me.
I've not tweaked the base note diiferently to
{syntaxhighlighter brush:xml}
m:0:2 / :n m:1:-1 :a
{/syntaxhighlighter}
