A supported chord symbol is still part of a musical context
Enharmonic spellings can represent the same pitch while reading differently to a musician. Review the selected spelling and the full chart after transposition. Unsupported chord syntax is refused rather than guessed; melody, voicing and instrument tuning are outside this operation.
