Description
Your idea
There's currently no way to turn off automatic symbol conversions for chord symbols. For example, a Ø gets converted into a 0, and the ♭ symbol gets converted into a b. Having an option to disable this under Style>Chord Symbols would be beneficial.
Problem to be solved
This would universally fix issues across any different chord font that uses different symbols for a different visual.

Start in the Style > Chord Symbols settings and trace where automatic chord-symbol conversions such as Ø to 0 and ♭ to b are applied. Done means users can disable those conversions and preserve the original symbols across chord fonts.
