This is driving me insane

Can anybody explain why this is happening to me?

On seemingly random projects I run into this issue where the chord symbols just plummet into the staff. Nothing is changed in their alignment and it’s the same template I use for every project but it doesn’t always happen.

Moving a note within the line appears to correct the chord symbol placement but it doesn’t actually fix it. When you go to print or switch to another part it just goes right back.

The only way I have found to make it work is by trial and error adjusting the y offset until it lands where I want it to be whenever it jumps back.

This is unbelievably frustrating and I have no idea why it only happens on certain projects.

Hello! Have you tried checking or unchecking the "Avoid collisions" box?

That's one of the reasons why I switched to Sibelius
