No need for a bug report as I've fixed that problem and made the
command much more friendly - it tells you what you have got wrong when
you play wrong notes and allows you to repeat sections for practice
without stopping and restarting the command.
The Command Center entry now reads:

Command: Check Chords (On/Off)
Advances through the current movement as you play the notes from all
staffs that sound together, with the cursor moving on in the current
staff. Playing a wrong note stops the cursor and the chord/notes have
to be re-played correctly. If the current staff has a rest the cursor
stops on the note before until you have played to the moment when it
re-joins. You can reposition the cursor or edit the music (via the PC
keyboard) while continuing with this mode - the checking resumes when
you play the next note(s) in. You can arpeggiate the notes as
convenient, no particular order is required as long as all the notes
that start at the same moment are played before moving on.

This version will be built overnight (in Chicago) and will be available
