You can change how chord events are displayed. This is useful if chord events overlap each other
at low zoom levels or if you do not like the font type.

Scale Events
Scale events inform you which chord events fit in a specific sequence of notes that belong to a
specific root note.
Cubase automatically creates scale events for your chord events.
To show the scale events, activate Show Scales on the chord track.

Scale events have a specific start position. Their end is determined by the start of the next scale
event.
