Show Key
Displays the key followed by a colon before the roman numeral (e.g, C: V7).
Ignore Secondary Dominants
By default, dominant seventh chords will be labelled as secondary dominantes (e.g, D7 in C Major is laballed by default as C: V7/V ). When enabled, this setting will label D7 in C Major as II7.
Use SubV instead of It6+ / Fr6+ / Gr6+
Display SubV for tritone substitions (as common in Jazz) instead of the It6+, Fr6+ and Gr6+ figures (Italian, French and German augmented sixth chords) as used in Classical Harmony.
Ignore Inversions
When enabled, only the base degree will be shown, without inversiong - e.g. I6 and I6/4 (tonic chord in first and second inversion) will be simplified to I.
Show Alternate Symbols
Show alternative symbols when ambiguous chord names are detected.
Font
