Project
In an empty staff, add 2 chords symbols : C^. and CM7
Use the contextual menu "Making chords" (4 notes) :
C^ give C E G C
CM7 give C E G B
When playing theses chords, C^ sound like C and CM7 sound like CM7
Bm7b5, B0 (zero) and BO (letter "O") are working very well.

It is, indeed. As far as I can tell this one here has not yet been migrated to GitHub, but probably should

Yeah, but a C^ chord and a Cmaj7 chord are symbolically identical. Why is by design that they play different sounds please?
