Re: Why do chords print below staff?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please send a small but complete example file that illustrates the
problem. I tried to just make up some values for all the identifiers
that you hadn't specified below and the chords are printed nicely
on top of the stave, so there's nothing wrong with the part of the
code that you sent.
