with up to 4 interpretations of the chord you played, with its best suggestion at the top and alternates below.
Choose the chord you want to have pasted into your song by clicking the appropriate [Enter] button beside the chord
name. You can insert up to two chords per bar in this fashion, and move backwards and forwards in a song with the
[<] [>] buttons in the top right section of the dialog.
Tip: You can also insert chords this way without opening up this dialog. Just press Ctrl+Enter keys at any time to insert the
last chord that you've played on your MIDI keyboard onto the worksheet.
