It would be helpful to have a toggleable option to display chord symbols using Roman numeral analysis based on the song’s key (e.g., Cmaj7 → Imaj7, Dm7 → ii7 in the key of C). This feature would support understanding harmonic function, learning music theory, and practicing transposition.
When the user activates Roman numeral view:
- The system prompts for the original key of the progression.
- A checkbox allows the user to choose between flat or sharp symbols for accidentals.
- Chords are then displayed as Roman numerals instead of standard chord names.
- Optionally, users could transpose the progression from the original key to a target key, using Roman numerals as the intermediate framework.
This feature would enhance JJazzLab’s usefulness as an educational and compositional tool.
