In Cubase: Edit > Key Commands search "Edit Info Line" assign keys: alt+Shift+e search "Insert and name Maker" assign keys: alt+Shift+m Select all the Cubase Chords and drag them to a midi track with snap enabled make sure you have a maker track select the first midi chord item click the Cubase Chord Markers in Tab 2 WAIT ! for it to add the marker then click it again File > Export > Midi File Drag into BB Plugin. See how it works for you, I allowed a bit of time between keystrokes, you can change delay with the Sleep value. It will copy the Name from the info line top left above the inspector. You may need to add 2 bars at the start for the BB Plugin and want the count-in, you will have to see how the chords line up in the BB Plugin. I couldn't drag the midi file in from the Save dialog, so there should be an Import Chords from MIDI Markers in the C7 at the bottom added soon. If you are running Biab As Administrator: To run script only .ahk install https://www.autohotkey.com/ and set AutoHotKey.exe to Run As Administrator To run .exe set to Run As Administrator * remove .mp4 from file name and unzip Download > BB Quick Menu & Mixer & Cubase Chords.zip.mp4

I asked them a year ago in the Cubase forum. Have you asked them in the Cubase forum ? that would be a solution. Reaper has scripting to do anything you need, same with Ardour and Studio One to a lesser extent. There is a script in this forum for Chords to Markers for Studio One https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=553751#Post553751

I tried, but what can ya do ? I see things instantly and just make a script to do the job in Reaper, Studio One, as you could wait years otherwise. Over at Presonus it's the same story.
