To create or load a Chord Suffix Library

Once you’ve created or edited chord suffixes (or taught Finale to recognize “learned chords”) in a document, you can save them in a separate library with its own title and icon on your hard disk. The next time you want to add chord symbols to a piece, you can load this library, thus saving yourself the time it would take to create or edit the chord symbols (or learned chords) again.

  1. To make a Chord Suffix Library of the chord suffixes and learned chords in a piece, choose Save Library from the File menu. The Save Library dialog box appears.
  2. Click Chord Suffixes, and then click OK (or press return). You’re then asked to title the new library.
  3. Type in a title and click Save (or press return). The next time you want to add those chord symbols to a piece, simply load the library you just created (choose Load Library from the File menu) and enter chord symbols in the usual way.
