In all Chord Symbol Language formats, the current format is also accepted for the input
of new chords. The “#”, “b”, “x” and “bb” characters are also active in the German3 mode,
allowing for quick entry. In the Roman format, the second root string character can be
omitted, e.g. typing “D7” or “Do7” in roman mode will both result in “Do 7” Changing
the Chord Language will automatically affect all chord symbols in the song. It is not
possible to mix chord languages.
