__Converts legacy text chord symbols to Sib 6-style chord symbols, or Sib 6 chords to legacy text chord symbols. __Updated 9 August 2011 for Sib 7 dialog control changes __Updated 8 September 2012 adding option to use plain text rather than formatted text when converting to Legacy chord symbols. __Updated 1 February 2016. Added code to retain the horizontal and vertical offsets of the original text or chord symbol objects.
