1) empty score
2) enter chord symbol: C<D (that's an angle bracket, in case the site changes it)

Result the < turns into &lt;. A subsequent edit turns it back, then it disappears.

We aren't managing xmltext vs. plaintext correctly, easy fix.

Fixed in branch master, commit b7824c8f4b

_fix #295778: incorrect handling of HTML escapes in chord symbols

We pre-populate the text of a chord symbol when commencing edit,
and process the text again upon completion of the edit.
But sometimes we used xmltext and other times we use plaintext.
It needs to be plaintext always for the conversion to work right:
we need to use plainText() when calling setHarmony(),
and we need to call setPlainText() when setting the text from the harmonyName()._
