When I import an XML Lead sheet the Note Names on Chord Symbols do not appear
When I important an XML Lead sheet the Chord Symbols do not appear. The Chord type Symbol does appear but to the Note Name.
What Am I missing? If I select the chord symbol the chord plays & certainly sounds correct but the actual note value does not show.
I am wanting to convert the Concert C chart to Eb but of course need the chord Changes as well as the melody.

Known issue, should be fixed in the next release
Meanwhile just toggle Format > Style > Chord symbols > Normal/Jazz

Doesn't seem to rectify the issue. Tried both Stanrd & Jazz.

Bingo that worked thanks!
The workaround for the correct display of the chord names has been mentioned.
But I do not understand the second step. If I open the xml it is already in Eb and not in C.
Do you want to convert from Eb to C? Then select all (or nothing) and use Tools/Transpose/To Key / Cmaj. This translates the chords too.
See the Eb and C score, done with 3.6.2.

No transposition is all good, absolutely have already done that, the issue was I was seeing the chords notes but a save, close, re-open after changing the format as suggested here solved it! Thanks all
