Project> Chord Track> Create Chord Symbols, for example.

Synchronize Track Data with Chord Track First

Activate Analyze Chords if the track data has nothing in common with the chord

events. This analyzes the MIDI events and matches the found chords to the chord

track. This is only available for MIDI.

Activate Apply a Known Chord if the track data has nothing in common with the

chord events and if there are no chord changes. Specify Root Note and Chord Type

of your events.
