Chord change doesn't change Tab #448

Tuxguitar 1.6.3 If I want to change the chord of a bar the tab and playback stays on previous chord.

Chord is Am, but the tab and the playback stays on C

I admit this behavior might be a bit surprising, but in my understanding it's intentional. One chord is vertically aligned with a beat, so it is logically attached to it. However, there are many cases where the contents of beat and chord are not supposed to be identical. Just a couple of examples below:

bar 1 is an arpegio of a C chord. The C chord is displayed over first beat of bar, even if there is only one note in that beat
in bar 2, Am and C chords are displayed over beats 1 and 3, for logical reasons (rhythm). Again, there is one single note in these beats and not the full chords

For me this behaviour seems not very practical if you just want to compose pure chord progressions.(without Arpeggios, single notes) It would be better if there was a setting where you could choose if you want to align tabs to chords.

OK, got to find a way to improve this user interface

+1 I have to agree it's confusing as it currently is. Logically, it should transpose the tabs to reflect the selection. Stumped me the first time I used the function.
