Would it be possible to take a selected note in the midi editor and build a chord from it? Select a chord type from a 'tone color palette' e.g. Augmented, then select either 'build from root' or 'build from top'. Like your color selector for tracks - only for tones! So if the selection was note C, minor, and build from root, you would add 3 to C's note number and create another note at the same time position. The software would then add 4 to the note number and create the final note. You end up with Cminor. If build from top was selected you would end up with F minor instead because note C is top note of that chord. Some chords would need a fourth note (eg add9). Chords needed - major, 6, add9, sus4, maj7, maj7(b5), maj7(#5), minor, minor6, minor add 9, minor 7, minor(maj7), minor7(b5), minor9, 7, 7sus4, 7(b5), 7(#5), 9, 9sus4, 7(b9), 7(#9), 9(b5), 7add13, dim7, aug.

Some chords will even have 5 notes.
