Announced in 2019, released in 2020, prototyped in 2022, MS jumping on it in 2025... There was some noise at NAMM couple weeks ago but no one was talking about it and groups watching vendor demos were small.

I still can’t believe MIDI 2.0 doesn’t contain chord symbols.

Since the announcement years ago, has it changed any software any of you use?

And what’s with this ‘canary’ term for beta?

I've just downloaded an update to the specs and in M2-104-UM_v1-1-2 It now lists "7.5.8 Set Chord Name Message", which does appear to be an encoding of chord symbols. Encoding, not text, but that's perhaps reasonable as MIDI is a machine language that's not intended to be human readable. I haven't read it in detail, so I may be mistaken about its intent.

BTW, I hadn't realised that Microsoft hadn't implemented it (It's been available in Linux for 18+ months now), but if they hadn't, then I suspect many potential user-applications will be awaiting MS before pushing it much ... of course they can make their own drivers, but in many cases that's just dead work and MS are pretty infamous for doing things their own way in any case.

Edit: I also don't know the completeness of the Linux implementation.
