Additional context

While it's not super common to use natural signs in chords, it does happen sometimes. One of the main reasons is to highlight that previously altered tension note is no longer there. It's also used at music schools for educational purposes (e.g., Berklee has music theory classes where such notation is used).

PS Basically, it's the same idea as with the regular use of natural signs. Even if it is not used in every score, there is no reason to not properly treat natural signs in the context of chords, as it's just a means to highlight that a note is not altered, and ideally it should be applicable to any context regardless of where it's used.

And while at it consider making it easier to enter a natural, like by a simple H rather than Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+H, simular to how it is possible already for RNA input
