iReal Pro layout conventions

This is what I've been suggesting since 2016!

Hi,
Even with small font, an A7b9 at the end of a bar line is not properly displayed. The b9 part if totally obscured by the bar line. Can you improve on this please? Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion.
When I encounter the problem of overlapping or obscured extensions, I will first use the small font on the problem bar. If the problem persists, I’ll consider making the problem bar longer (which can cause other problems).
Some chords can be written as a shorter version
Δ instead of Δ7,
ø instead of -7b5
What works best for me is to write (using TEXT [abc…]) and copy the obscured/illegible quality below the chord. That doesn’t interfere with or confuse the player, it’s easy to read and, if the chart is transposed, still displays correctly.
