Playback Chord symbols
Hello,
I have got MuseScore 3 installed and I was wondering if there was a way to playback the chords shown on the atatched score? I am a beginners in writing and reading the notes. I was told there is a plug-in which playbacks the chords shown? I have tried a few plugins but it just didn't work. One crashed the software when I cliecked OK, the other just didn't do anything.
Please could you recommend the best plugi-in and tell me which version of MuseScore I should use?
Many thanks.

For plugins better use 2.3.2 for now, in 3.0 they don't work currently

Jojo, thanks for your reply. I am very new to all this. Please could you tell me which plug-in I should use which goes with the score I shared? I am happy to download and use ver 2.3.2.

Thanks, looking at this it says compatibility version 2. so should I download and use version 2.0 or would 2.3.2 be ok? To be honest I have sepnt several hours trying to get this to work using various plug-ins and different versions of MuseScore so would be great if I can get some solid help which we are sure it will work.

2 should be 2.x, and as such include 2.3.2
Besides the question of correct Musescore versions, it might be interesting to point out that Musescore does not have the capability to generate sounds from chord symbols, in neither version. I'm also not aware of any pluging that could do it. I already wrote a feature request on exactly that topic last year

Severity of S5-Suggestion is what used to be called a "Feature request"
I made a Musescore 3.0 plugin that expands chord symbols into notes. It can handle most chords including complex jazz chords. Try it and let me know what you think. The plugin is here... https://musescore.org/en/project/expand-chord-symbols-notes

This is aready part of the standard functionality of "playback of chord symbols" feature in Musescore coming with v3.5. It is already merged to master and available in the nightlies.
