Previewing Chords
This feature allows you to hear chords as you to type them in. When you are
entering chords onto the Chord sheet (or notation window), after you type a
chord name, press Shift+Return. This enters the chord onto the chord sheet and
then plays the chord for you, using the patches on the Piano part and Bass part.
You can also listen to a chord that has already been entered, by just pressing
Shift+Return after moving to that bar with the chord. If there is no chord
entered at that bar, you will hear the last chord that was entered.
You can also preview chords from the Chord Options dialog. Press Option+Z
to launch the dialog, and then press the [Preview] button to hear the current
chord in the Chord Options dialog.

This feature allows you to hear and build chords up by clicking on the root,
extension (and alternate root if applicable). You can launch the chord builder by
choosing the User | Chord Builder menu option or with the keystrokes
Ctrl+Shift+H.
You'll then see the following Chord Builder dialog:
