Open the Score Editor, select Scores > Settings, select the Project tab, and in the Pages list, click Guitar Library.
In the Score Editor, double-click to the left of a staff, select the Project tab, and in the Pages list, click Guitar Library.

Note

You must click Apply to apply your settings.

The following options are available on the Guitar Library page:

Guitar: Shows all defined guitar symbols. Double-click a symbol to open the Guitar Symbol dialog where you can edit the symbol.
Chord: Shows the chord symbol for the guitar symbol. Double-click a symbol to open the New Chord Symbol dialog where you can edit the symbol.
New: Adds an empty guitar symbol below the selected symbol.
Remove: Removes the selected guitar symbol.
Sort: Sorts the guitar symbols from top to bottom according to their scale, starting with C chords and ending with B chords.
Use for Make Chord Symbols: If you use Make Chord Symbols, this inserts guitar symbols together with regular chords if fitting guitar symbols can be found. If several guitar symbols are available for a specific chord, the first one is used.
Small Display: Shows the chord symbols in the list in the size they will have in the score.
