Enharmonics for chord tones are automatically based on the chord.



Well, that's actually what I meant by "has no effect". Basing chord tone enharmonics on the chord of the moment yields results not always desirable, and the setting changes nothing about how that happens.

But holy cow, man. We care less about passing tones than about the chord tones. Why have a setting for passing tones alone -- and if it affects them alone, why is it not so designated in its menu? The functional distinction seems too odd to understand it immediately. Why mix things up so? I'll try to observe what that does over time, and maybe the point of it will dawn on me.

Thanks for the explanation, Andrew! I never would have grasped that unaided.




Edit: I never grasped it, because I never read up on it properly. This point is covered in absolute detail in the Help files, exactly as Andrew stated it. The feature still seems inutile to me, but it's fully explained.
