This screen-shot shows the main window, with the library of chords being built on the left, the chord editor at the top and all the rendering settings at the bottom.

This screen-shot shows the tuning and instrument editor. You can create new tuning and apply it to a single chord, or apply it to a folder of chords, depending on how complex you want to make things.



... and a quick look at the chord naming settings. You can use special symbols, or just plain text. Each item can be moved rendered as a super-script or in the normal position. You can also set spacing rules for the chord naming, to handle awkward names like A add 11. And of course you can always just name it yourself if you want.
