The attached MS file shows the issue. Cø (C half-diminished, C Eb Gb Bb) is interpreted as C Eb Gb (C diminished) instead. The workaround is to use Cø7 instead, which is not affected.

See #297246: Chord symbols: in some cases, 0 (zero) does not turn into ø
Hmm, no, not a duplicate, just related
Without the seventh, does Cø have meaning (or does Jazz interpret it as Cø7)?
Similar discussion as in that other issue it seems
Technically, the 7 is considered optional, since it is already implied by the half-diminished symbol, and while I think it's a good idea to include it anyhow, probably we should be special-case this because at least some people do choose to omit the 7.
