Default Chord Symbol Behavior

This will probably spawn a "that's the way it is" response, but here goes anyway.

When I'm entering chord symbols, there is inconsistency in how the entered data appears after I tab to the next major beat. For the most part, all lower case letters become upper case, and all lower case b and pound signs get converted to flats and sharps, respectively.

If I type c7 > tab, I get C7. Nice. Saves using the Shift key. If I type c7(b9), I get c7(b9). Well, the flat is converted properly, but the c is still lower case. I have also found that if I key a b°, as in B dim, the b does not get converted to upper case.

I have found that I can backtab and fix it without a problem, but is this just the way it is?
