  1. Open the attached file.
  2. Select a chord symbol and, in the Inspector, adjust any of the "Play" properties.
  3. Select another object (deselect chord symbol), then select the original chord symbol again.

Expected result: "Reset to style" button should be active.
Actual result: "Reset to style" button is greyed out.

It can't be a regression if the feature didn't even exist in previous versions.

Workaround is to change the setting again.

Title Chord playback: reset to style button (Inspector) fails to remain active Chord playback: reset to style button (Inspector) fails to remain enabled

Small tweak for clarity: The standard term for this is “enabled”, not “active”. I suggest that this be changed in the body text too.

One more issue with the Play checkbox:
1. Select a chord symbol
2. Untick the "Play" checkbox
3. Set as style
Result: the comboboxes below will become hidden
4. Select another chord symbol
Result: the "play" checkbox is unticked, but the comboboxes below are visible
Expected behaviour: the comboboxes are hidden.

This could be somewhat inherent in the fact that there is only one checkbox for the three settings and how the code that manages these buttons works. Probably more worth simply adding the individual set as style buttons.
