Use different chords for different instruments

Hi all,
When I search the net for a solution, I only find older messages saying
“it is still not possible at the moment”…
Is there now a possibility to use different chords for different instruments? Like for example Piano A11(b9) and for guitar Gm7?
Thanks in advance.

You can certainly create local chords specific to each instrument. Instead of terminating the shift-Q popover with enter, use alt-enter.

Hello Janus
I have made first step in this subject with success. Now please, can you advice me how to play back all these chords - different in different parts. When I play them I steel have only one chords track even with Independent Voice Playback on.

Only the global chords play back, unfortunately.

Thank you for your quick reply.
For me could be global play back if it realise total resulting written down harmony. Now is not really global. It is only play back the harmony of one selected track. Sometimes it is very usefull possibility. With the contemporary music especially. I can written down all chords with notes of course but sometimes this way is incovenient or not recomended. Unless I do something incorrectly.
If not may I look it forward in the future?

More likely you will have to solve your challenge by realizing the local chords on a hidden staff.

Thanks Derrek
I will try this way

I Checked it and I can only to hide notes or chord symbols. It is rather impossible create a new chord track “secretly”. Than I see I should written down all chords note by note.
