I don't know that it has a name. What it does have is comments about its placement, size, and now color/contrast. For something that some folks here did not know existed, it doesn't seem to have many fans.

As long as we're on this subject, I'll add a suggestion. In a perfect world, I would like BIAB to behave more like, say, Microsoft Word and flag a chord that is typed wrong or especially a chord type that is not supported, rather than have the full entry just disappear. Then going into an edit mode would make more sense, as I could fix the chord rather than just re type it and hope I got it right. The perfect functionality might be like my iPhone, with artificial intelligence suggestions for chords as I type.

Here are some examples how this new chord editor window might work:

I type FMa and it underlines in red, and presents F, FMaj7, FMaj9, FMaj9#11etc.

I type FBaj7 and press Enter, and it underlines in red, giving me an opportunity to be edited. It could say, "Chord type not supported" and even give me some suggestions I could click on to fix the entry.

I type FMaj7#11 and press Enter. It would underline in red, say the chord is constructed correctly but is a chord type not supported by BIAB. It would not only suggest FMaj9#11, but also put up a green message about creating a chord shortcut that would make this replacement automatic in the future.

And while typing a chord, the editing window to do this is large, centered in the top area of the screen so as not to cover any of the chord sheet, and colored with suitable contrast.

Make sense?
