Midi export from command line doesn't respect style chord symbol playback setting
Following the directions here, I turned all playback of chord symbols off by unchecking Style->Chord Symbols -> Play. I then saved the resultant style in a file no_chord_playback.mss. My hope was that I could then run
mscore [input .mscz] -S no_chord_playback.mss -o [output .mid]
and not get any chord symbol playback in the output midi. However, this doesn't seem to work---the chord symbol playback is still there.
E.g., I made the attached Chord_demo.mscz. After running
mscore Chord_demo.mscz -S no_chord_playback.mss -o temp.mid
I get the attached temp.mid, in which the F7 chord is still present.
I have a large number of files I would like to export and I want to be certain there are no chords present in them. Thanks for your help.
Here's my Musescore version etc:
OS: macOS 10.16, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548020600, revision: 3224f34

Seems related to #102421: Command line interface ignores style when exporting to PDF and/or #304900: Change drumset style/setup via command line and a style file or #269491: Text styles not applied by command line option -S
It seems that the -S option doesn't work as intended , regardless of whether you want -o to output anything automatically. Even when starting Musescore with the -S option, the style file is not loaded.
I tried it with the MuseJazz.mss to set an other text style: not working.
If you load the *.mss manually it works, including turning off chord playback.
