Option to remove inversion from capo chord symbols

• Jun 9, 2025 - 10:31

I'm finding that scores with chord symbols get very crowded when there are inversions and then capo chords in parenthesis afterwards.

e.g. Bm7/D (Am7/C)

An option to show only the main chord in the parenthesis would be helpful and is a convention I've seen in a few commercially available scores (especially for church worship band music).

e.g. Bm7/D (Am7)

It could sit in Format - Style - Chord Symbol

Often the guitarists aren't interested in the inversion but it is helpful for a bass player who is usually playing in the main key anyway and so just needs the non-capo chords.

Alternatively, a way of being able to edit the capo chord manually would help.

Thanks

Chris

This forum is where we discuss adding features. Many times people will suggest this or that feature be added ... when it's already a feature of the software. Rather than clutter up the developers' queue with such requests, it's recommended to discuss them here and only add a formal request if we can determine that it actually doesn't already exist. The formal request is made on the github webpage ... which is what Jojo recommended you do.
