• Shows chords used in classical music: triads (major, minor, diminished) and seventh chords (MM7, m7, Mm7, dim7).

• Chord Per Measure: you need to define how many chords per measure for your specific score.

• Chord in: notes in your choice staff (Grand/treble/all) will be used for chord identification. Treble+ grand mode will ignore the highest note(melody)

• Symbol :
  Normal chord ( C F7 Gm ) Roman Chord level ( Ⅳ) Normal+Roman (C/I)

• Bass: it will figure out a bass note if bass note is not a chord root note, such as (C/G )

• Highlight chord notes: chord notes display on a different color.

• Create New Chord Score: create a new chord-only score

3.Tips

• you can try to set different parameters to get a different result, Ctr+Z can undo.
• Default it is for the whole score if you don't select any measure.it also works on selected portion, such as several measures.it is useful for a complicated score, such as 4/4 ->3/4 beat changing in a staff.
• you can adjust chord symbols manually if think it is not right or not accuracy.
• if the gap is too narrow between treble staff and bass staff, you can change it, Muscore->style->General->Page->Grand staff distance.
