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.

Title Chords symbols attached to fret diagrams lost their custom offsets after Save Chords symbols attached to fret diagrams lose their custom offsets after Save

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) ?
