Well, it does not!
Apart from the most simple cases and only in c-major. ;)

It may be doable to extend the ChordRootNamer to cover more keys and
let our chord-naming-engine do some additional work.
But it will likely be restricted to the simpelst use cases (as others
mentioned already)

A summarizing answer:
For most questioned I'd answer: I don't know or I doubt
At least I don't have the time to work on it.

There's a patch of mine needing some rework and I didn't add a single
line of code to it for about 2 weeks ...
