allow to define preferred UI variant for chord symbols and apply that for imported or existing files

Your idea

Most users have a clear preference of what chord symbols they want to use. It would be great to allow defining which chord symbol to use and apply that on imported or existing files.

Problem to be solved

When importing files and looking to apply the preferred chord symbol format, that has to be done manually which is time consuming and inefficient.

Prior art

Iirc Sibelius indeed allowed for a preferred chord symbol appearance.
This is Dorico documentation about Chord symbol appearance presets: https://archive.steinberg.help/dorico/v3/en/dorico/topics/notation_reference/notation_reference_chord_symbols/notation_reference_chord_symbols_appearance_presets_r.html

Additional context

Example: user may prefer C^7 notation over Cmaj7. Applying users preferred chord symbol to a score would be a great feature. Obviously this is a complex feature request as it requires new UI.
