Description

I've wanted a new feature to where the Chords would play back the rhythm based on the slashes (also for un-pitched percussion instruments the Ride Cymbal) because it'll sound alot more interesting.

Research direction

Start with the Duration of Chord Symbols settings and the playback behavior described in the issue. Clarify how slash rhythms should drive chord playback, including un-pitched percussion such as Ride Cymbal, then identify the relevant playback code and tests; done means the setting produces the intended rhythm consistently.
