__This plugin will respell chord symbol names, changing sharps to flats, and so on. Notes and key signatures are not affected. __There are options for how certain chord roots are respelled. Chord root names with accidentals (such as Eb or C#) will change to a natural or single accidental. Natural roots change depending on the option: they can be set to never change, to change to a single accidental (E, F, B, or C), or any natural root can change, possibly producing a double accidental. __Options are retained over Sibelius sessions, and the settings dialog may be hidden after it appears the first time the plugin is run in a Sibelius session. __There are options to respell as sharps and flats, and all flats as sharps. __Updated 3 April 2023. Version 01.13.00. Improved initial selection check to look for chord symbols.
