Sometimes I write music melody with chord symbols using software Sibelius.
This program can play the melody only. (Not the accompaniment.)
(This is for me the most missing feature of this program.)

Is there any option how to import song chords from Sibelius into the vArranger?
Sibelius can export music sheet in xml format.

Not for now. Maybe later I will add a midifile to chords analyzer

Hi Dan,
Ability to get Chords from xml file(as Chord Symbols) into vArranger
would be VERY useful!
I too have existing Chord sequences I would like to Import.
To be able to Export new vArranger Chord sequences also would be a
great time saver when adding a melody to create a Lead Sheet in
Notation Software.
Hope you can add this.

I do not want to advertise here, I would like to give an example.

My favorite accompaniment generator is program Ludwig.
http://www.write-music.com/
It can produce sophisticated accompaniment by the notated melody with chord symbols.
It use algorithms similar to author's chess program.
Unfortunately, this program can not read xml, also
and  it seems that this program has stopped development.
However you can download the trial version
and the price of this software is ridiculously small. (€49,99)
