Windows 7, GIT commit: 6c5b016

1) open attached score created in 1.3

Result: very first chord symbol, "N.C.", displays with embedded font info.

I know these were stored as HTML in the score.

Ideally, the code would strip off the formatting and then try to parse the results - it's quite likely the chord will be recognized now. Maybe no "N.C.", but all the zillions of places people entered "Cmin7" or some other logical but not recognized abbreviation. This might "just work" once we strip off the formatting?

The easy fix is to strip out the formatting. This takes care of basic unrecognized chords, and symbols like "N.C." in particular.

Stripping out the formatting may be disappointing if you had explicitly added formatting above and beyond the default chordname text style (using the text toolbar) in 1.3 - for instance, to make the "N.C." italic. But since 2.0 provides no way of creating or editing chord symbols with this sort of embedded formatting, I think it's just as well.
