If this is the case, then there is no place for them in actual Chord Sheet as they are a "side" tool and a panel would be a perfect candidate for that.
3) Perhaps an indication that MC is present a the bar? A colored dot or such. Also,
4) I think typing in microchords in main cells with commas is a bit overkill, as instead of arranging you do sort of coding.
1) Yes, currently up to 1/16. in practice it rare for a chord to be less than 1/8. (I actually think they should reduce its complexity to 1/8)
2) Hmm, you may have missed the power of Micro Chords. I used them immediately to add syncopated transitions chords in a song I was working on when they were introduces.
They are real chords and rests and motifs that will render in the track even in the plugin.
3) The micro chords already show up in the chord sheet after you use the convoluted MC Window. (all the same symbols I showed)
4) Disagree, I would have loved to just enter my 1/8 syncopated chord directly into the chore track.
