Possible to place a chord diagram summary before the music notation in MusicXML or MuseScore?
Is it possible to place a chord diagram summary (fretboard legend) before the score music in MusicXML or MuseScore? If yes, then how?
Background:
The chord diagram summary (i.e. fretboard legend) would include all the chords used in the piece in a single table. These chords would not be associated with any musical measures in the piece.
And, thus the music measures could just show the chord letters. This helps the overall music be more compact and facilitates a quicks review of the chords used.
Here is an example...
At this time, the information that I've found in MuseScore is only for associating a Fretboard Diagram with a note in a measure.
Also, the MusicXML Chord Symbols example also only shows the Fretboard Diagram by assigned notes.
So, is either MuseScore or MusicXML capable of having a chord diagram summary before and not assigned to the music note/measure notation itself? If yes, how?

First create fretboard diagrams for the chords in the first bar, and then drag the diagrams where you want them to be on your page.
Then add labels for them, for example as chord symbols. Select a note or rest and press Cmd-K (maybe Ctrl-K on Windows), type the chord's name and drag it where you want.
This is MuseScore 2.x. It might be different in 3.x.
