This discussion is as old as "sheet music on PC"....
e.g.:
https://music.stackexchange.com/question...for-guitar
- Personally I prefer slash chords with the bass name of the scale of the chord,
because it´s most used/common/intuitiv.
- If I use transposed txt based songs just for my own, I let it be, because I know the background behind "A/Db"
(theory doesn´t matter).
- If "wrong spelled" transposed songs are passed on, I copy the song into a texteditor, change the names and copy back, takes a minute
(theory does matter and avoid being embarrased).
Generally I prefer Nashville Notation (roman numerals), this way you never have to transpose on paper.
But you have to know the notes/intervals on the fretboard/keys.
@erhe, could this be a possibility for you? It seems you are a very versed musician.
By the way, a further example for theory enthusiasts/discussion: C(dim7)=Cm6(b5)
e.k.

PS.: @mike, sciurius:
Would it be possible to integrate Nashville Notation into txt/chordpro editors
(transpose chordnames to/from Nashville Notation)?
