11 months ago This is currently by design - the default "Standard" chord symbol appearance was intended to match that used by a number of publishers of pop sheet music that use this style. But, really, more pop publishers use "dim", so it's not like there is that large a sample set of publishers using the diminished sign at all for comparison as to how they draw it. It's been a fairly common request to support superscript diminished signs in the standard style. It's the sort of thing that would have been covered in the GSoC project from a couple of years back to provide more flexibility in chord symbol layout.
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Bug description
According to the handbook (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/chord-symbols) the Chord Symbol syntax should automatically recognize lowercase "o" as a diminished symbol, as long as one is using the Jazz style. It seems that it DOES render the sounding chord correctly, but the actual text on the page is not auto-formatted to superscript like it should. Additionally, the half-diminished chord symbol works but is not superscripted.
Steps to reproduce
1) select note 2) enter Chord Symbol (ctrl + K) 3) in Properties, select "Jazz" interpretation 4) type a chord that contains fully-diminished symbol, for example Co7 5) hit Spacebar
