It’s the “Show in All” that I don’t see anywhere. But I’m not at home right now. So I’ll check when I get home and get back in my studio. Thank you so much for all your help.

Still need to figure out why the score editor doesn’t have the proper cords as listed in the guitar chord line at the top of the edit window.

I see why now. I only have Sibelius First, whereas you must have Sibelius, because you have features in your Home tab that I do not, including the "Hide or Show' which apparently First does not have. The solution was for me to upgrade to regular Sibelius from First. Since it was a whopping $5.00 that's what I did. So, now I have the "Hide or Show" option! And, yes, it worked. But now there's a couple places where the chord diagrams sit on top of the lyrics in the line above them. So, I'll have to figure out how to re-space that. But at least they all show up now. Thank you. So, it seems that with Sibelius First, you really can NOT create a lead sheet with the chords (unless you want them grayed out).



Here's what the Sibelius First Home Screen options look like (you can see its different from yours):
