how to display chord names?

[randall7]

Is there any way to have Reaper display chord names along a track? I can reason them out in my head of course, but seeing the chord names would make for a faster workflow. If I have two bars of GCF and then two bars of CAF on the piano roll it would nice to quickly see Csus and F over those measures.

Pretty common way is to create a track with empty items in there for the chord names. Some use regions for it and there are also scripts. Some of these ideas here.

That works, for now, thank you. I created a track, inserted an empty item, double clicked on it and was able to type in text (chord name); I made the track black, as the text is gray. I wish I could figure out a way to change the text color from gray to green, or whatever, must be a way.
