Chord symbols
Chord symbols describe the vertical harmony of the music at a specific moment. They are frequently used in jazz and pop music, where players often improvise around chord progressions.
Chord symbol regions
Chord symbol regions specify passages where you want to show chord symbols. They are particularly useful for players and layouts that do not need chord symbols for most of the project but have improvisation sections that require chord symbols to be shown.
Hiding/Showing chord symbol region highlights
You can hide/show colored highlights for chord symbol regions at any time, for example, if you want to show the highlights when inputting music but hide them when engraving.
