All of the above advice sounds correct to me. I would just add that we are getting closer to being able to transfer chord symbols into the DAW by exporting as Music XML. It might even work now if the DAW imports Music XML; I haven't tried it (since my main need is to take the song, with chords, into a dedicated notation program, not a DAW).
