This text area is where the user inputs chords. ChordCommander supports a very wide variety of chords, and they can be entered via the keyboard. If a chord is misspelled, or ChordCommander otherwise can't understand it, a red squiggly line will appear under it. If there are misspelled chords and the Find Chords button is pressed, a dialog box will alert the user that there are chords to be fixed.
All chords start with a capital letter, are separated by spaces, and note that in lieu of a flat symbol, ChordCommander uses a lowercase "b". For example, C-flat would be "Cb".
