Under Prefs Notation, a box is the to use the chord scale for enharmonics. If you search the term you find out that almost all software has some version of this issue when it comes to music. Is it a C# chord or a Dflat chord. Depends on the context. I don't know the programming language involved but of course depending on the way you write the software this may always be an issue if you want to transpose. As stated, a quick workaround with paper is to modify it yourself.

From a programming perspective I'd think the option to freeze the entire arrangement with the chords they way you want them, or to have an alternative box and have the software print the default unless the alternate spelling is (true ie. something in the field) then it might solve what for a very few people is an issue. My wife gets out of shape over it, I on the other hand can deal with a C# chord or a Db chord in the same manner as I see it coming and know where on the piano I want to go.

Same on the accordion.

But on a wind instrument, or brass instrument I don't look at the chords very often, I'm playing either melody or harmony and trying to concentrate.
