Chord symbol functions and characters
I would like to request a broader recognition of chord symbols. At the moment Cm7 is recognized but Cmin7 is not. Neither is Cmi7 or C-7. If the chord is not recognized the font of the 7 is different from the chords that are recognized as are the flats and sharps. CMaj7 is recognized but is then changed to Cmaj7. I would also like to have the possibility of using symbols for Maj7, half diminished and diminished7. the triangle, struck through circle and the circle respectively.
The main problem I have with the way the chord symbols are working at the moment is the fact that they can't be copy pasted to new bars without also copying the notes. I use MuseScore primarily for writing down transcribed solos and I like to have chord symbols on all choruses of a solo. Since most of the chorus is the same every time writing in the chord symbols for each new chorus seems like a big waste of time.
I have found out that I can copy the notes with the chords to new bars and then copy the notes over them later on. This works but is a rather clumsy.
The other thing is something that was mentioned earlier I believe; the fact that you can only input a chord if there is a note or a rest so that if there is a whole note in a 4/4 bar you can only input a single chord symbol for that bar.

You can input as many chords you want in a bar. Once you added a chord name on the whole, click the whole again and Ctrl+K and enter your second chordname, then use right arrow to move the text area.

Thanks for the corection on the more chords per note thing. Now that I think about it I think I only tried it by using the space bar to move to the next chord. That would be the preferred way for me. Something like 4 chords per 4/4 bar where you can simply move from one to the next with the space bar. In a bar with a lot of notes moving to the next chord with the spacebar takes a lot of time.
