Chord display on piano keyboard
Hey!
Is it possible to display the chords on the keyboard (shown by the shortcut "P")?
I'd like to see what a chord looks like on a piano keyboard.
Thanks, David.

If you mean the Chord Symbols, then have a look at the voicing information on https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/playback-chord-symbols-nashville-nu… and you could consider using Tools > Realize Chord Symbols to get them written out on a staff/instrument, which then in turn will get shown on the Piano Keyboard.

Thanks for the reply, yes when I click on "Realize Chord Symbols" I see it on the piano keyboard, that's fine.
I was wondering if there is a simpler way to display the chord symbol on the keyboard just by clicking on it.
My point was that if I don't know how to play a given chord, I click on it, it shows up on the keyboard, and I move on.

No, there is no such feature. But note, the built-in voicings aren't designed to be reciples for how you should play the chord, and indeed aren't necessarily very good for that purpose. Betterr to find a resource specifically designed to teach you how to play chords.

OK, thank you! Could you recommend me some software to teach me how to play chords?

I don't know of any software for this. but there are definitely tons of teachers, books, videos, etc. It's really something of an art, not something you can easily give simple recipes for. I mean, there is a simple recipe to tell you which notes are actually in each chord (for example, an A chord consists of the notes A, C#, and E). And any resource that teaches basic music theory will teach that. But it's still a process to learn how to get from knowing that to knowing which A's, C#'s, and E's to play - which octaves in which hands and in what rhythms etc. - in order to play effective accompaniment
