Can you not already do that? If you uncheck the "Place Chords Above Text" option, then the chords will be displayed in the lyrics. This only applies to chord pro files though. If you are asking if I can do this with text files, I'd really rather not, as it would cause significant complexity. I need to add a text to chord pro converter at some point - that will be my solution for that issue.
I will need to spend a fair amount of time improving the editor - what is there is just something rather basic that I put in place for simple changes, but I recognize that it's missing a lot of important features.

If more users request this, then I can consider it. It requires database changes, creating incompatibilities between versions as well as UI changes, so I'd rather not change all that unless there seems to be a large number of users that would benefit from it.

Your chords are not going to be identified as chords , as you did not put brackets around them. If that's okay by you (meaning you don't need to transpose and don't use a different font size for chords), that's perfectly fine, but I just wanted to mention it. You can still use spans like that with chords, you would just need to <span foreground=#0000EE>[Am]</span> instead of <span foreground=#0000EE>Am</span>.
