I introduced the term "Chord Symbols" in Denemo as a synonym for "Fake
Chords", LilyPond seems just to call them "Chord Names"

palette was the name in use in Denemo starting 10 years or so ago, I
just perpetuated it, I am not sure if there is a more up-to-date English
name in the world of graphical user interfaces. And I'm not sure what
"panel" would mean today in this context. "Panel" refers in ordinary
English to a (usually flat, rectangular) piece of solid material for
enclosing something or a similar piece erected to display things on its
surface. If there is a now well-established English term for these boxes
of button widgets then we should perhaps change Denemo to use the new
terminology.

??? what is removed??? 

I can see this (in the new command manager):

Avoids slur colliding with accidental (Print)
Location: Object Menu->Notes/Rests->Slurs
Internal Name: AvoidSlurAccidentalCollision

where does this come from?

I think it should be \n to cause a line break; in some places tooltips
are displayed without automatic breaking into lines.
