Describe the bug
Only the symbols # and b are accepted as input, or displayed, in the chord entry, not ♯ nor ♭.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Click the ‘Chord Name’ entry
- Type
B♭
Expected behaviour
The chord x13331 is displayed.
Screenshots
Additional context
You can type ♭ with Compose # b and ♯ with Compose # #. No rational human would do this rather than just b or #, you might think, but it was one of the first things I tried.
Aesthetically I think B♭ and A♯ look nicer than Bb and A#.
If it were me, I would:
- Accept these characters as input
- Normalise any entered chord to use the correct symbol
- For extra credit, accept
𝄪or##for double-sharp and𝄫orbbfor double-flat.
Thanks for your suggestion! I made this into a feature request since the current behavior is expected, and consequently not a bug, but I agree that it would be cool to use the proper symbols here. For the sake of simplicity I think the internal representation should still be b and #, but in the entry and elsewhere it would definitely be cool to show them as / accept the unicode symbols.
The app now uses the unicode symbols everywhere :)
