Chord symbols - where to edit display
I'm adding chord symbols to my piano score for ease of reading in fast passages.
When I add "Fmin" it displays as "F-". I want it to remain as I've typed it.
I've gone to Style/Text/Chord Symbol, and I've looked at the editing properties, but there seems nowhere to change this behaviour. Are there settings elsewhere that I'm missing?

Found it .. nm .. used a different chord symbol style.
It appears I cannot delete my own posts, so have updated instead.
For the record though - if you use the default settings in MuseScore 2.x, or indeed any of the regular supported options (Standard / Jazz etc) then if you type Fmin, it stays Fmin. It would only change to F- if you were using one of the old, no-longer-supported-for-new-scores chord description files from 1.x, or if you created your own custom one.

Thanks for that. ... How odd. ...
I have all default settings, and have no custom styles.
When I attempted to import a new style, the dialogue box pointed to a MuseScore2 directory in /My Documents/, where the /Styles/ directory was empty. All the styles files are present in the actual install directory (/Program Files (x86)/), but the program didn't open to that location when I wanted to import.
Weird.

Then maybe to are working with a score created in an earlier version? It you should never normally be importing any chord symbol styles.
If you need further help, please attach your score so we can see more about what is going on.

Yes the score was created in an earlier version. I have it sorted. Thanks for your help :)
