There are actually a lot of questions that need answers for such a feature - how many notes for the chord? Which notes from a chord? Is it the "straight" chord or an inversion? Which inversion?

Sherry,
in my opinion there's not much to discuss as Notation Composer already has all the functionality needed:
Look at the 'Chord Builder' dialog (Text -> Add chord names -> Enter chord name using dialog box). Here every selection (e.g. C minor7) results in exactly one chord name and one combination of notes. And the dialog even plays the correct chord.
Also when selecting a chord name in the score, Composer plays the correct chord.
All it needs is that during playback of a tune, these chords are played as well. And maybe an option somewhere whether to include the chords during playback or not.
Convering chord names to notes (as a separate score) would be an option, but for those instruments you use chord names for such as guitar or accordeon you usually don't need that. You do need to be able to listen to the chord, though.
