What is the workaround?
Please provide the XML file
In MuseScore 3.6 all chord symbols open correctly.
You are aware that a status "won't fix" basically close the issue?
Anyway: issue with 4.x pre-releases should rather get reported on GitHub anyhow
4.x does show chord symbols, just not the 1st letter of them. These do show though in the status bar and when putting the chord symbole into edit mode.
I don't see any such issue on GitHub, so please report it there https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/new/choose
My assumption is that the default chord symbol description file isn't being loaded for MusicXML imports. That would explain what we see, and why editing the chord or save/reload fixes it (which it does). So, another workaround: go to Format / Style / Chord Symbols, change from standard to jazz and back (or vice versa).
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/13214

I had the same problem. The changing format of the chord symbols to jazz and back fixed it. Thanks.
I have tested this issue in both version 4 and 4.1, and I can confirm that the problem exists in both versions. When exporting a MusicXML file from MuseScore or downloading it directly from the website (https://musescore.com/user/79276/scores/5212350?share=copy_link), and then importing it into Logic Pro, I am unable to see the chord symbols. However, I am able to view the lyrics in the meta events (event 61) when examining them in Logic, but no chord symbols events (event 59).
I would like to see the full lead sheet, melody, chords and lyrics.
Please advise
Thanks
That GitHub issue is still open
Fixed in/for 4.2
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
I found a thread that discusses this problem, and version 4.2 solves it.
That's why I closed it in August, mentioning 4.2 as the fixed version ;-)
I am running Musescore 4.2.1 but when I export to mxl the chords are not visible. Tried different solutions like jazz chords and back, copying to another staff..... Interesting flaw : in bar 8 there is a chord in the second staff that does export, but the main ones don't.
This issue tracker has been discontinued. Report on GitHub instead
Also note that this issue here is aboput chpord symbols, your's seems to be about freatboard diagrams (and the chord symbols attached to them)
What you are describing is unrelated to the issue discussed here. This was about the display of chord symbols on import; yours is about the export of chord symbols. I can confirm the problem, but you will need to report to it to the developers directly by opening a new issue over on GitHub - https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues. Please ZIP and attach the score there. It seems to be an issue with fretboard diagrams with chord symbols attached. Separate fretboard diagrams and chord symbols do export; combines ones apparently don't in MU4 (but did in 3.6.2)
Also note that the one in measure 8 looks like this in the mscz:
Only the "Dm" makes it accross
Then there's the one in measure 71:
Here only one of the 2 Chord symbols gets lost, even the fretboard diagram makes it accross
Make sure to mentiond that on GitHub

Thank you for your hint, I'll look at that. I saw another user (hany...) describing export problems in this thread, and that was the only I had found, thats why I replied here. For the rest quite newbie.....
