PreSonus Notion 6 - Notation Software (Boxed) - Manual (Page 247)

To help guide live musicians, a mainstay of jazz and popular sheet music is an on-going display of primary chord
changes . This is strictly for musicians reading your score: Notion does not include this information for playback .
Examples of chord names for musicians reading your score.
The text you use to name chords becomes an integral part of your file: if you transpose the score to another key, the chord
names update automatically . You have the option of showing chord names (detailed on this page) or chord diagrams .
