Description
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a score with notes and chords on the same instrument
- Export the score as Midi
- Open the Midi file in MU4 or any DAW
- Pay attention to the chords
Expected behavior
Chords shouldn't be exported by midi (as in Sibelius) - fast fix
OR specific chord export option should be present in the Midi export dialog - improvement

Research direction
Reproduce the reported score and MIDI export in MuseScore, then inspect the MIDI export path and its dialog behavior. Done means chord symbols are no longer exported with the instrument track, or a clear option controls their export, with the result verified in MU4 or another DAW.
