Chord Symbols: 3 Display Questions

Question

Been using Logic for a while now (first with Express 7.2; then Logic Studio since its debut) -- though would still label myself a novice. Am hoping some of the pros here can help clarify a couple of points re the display of Chord Symbols:
Question 1):
I was happy to recently discover that unlike both the Transport window and the little box in the top right of the Piano Roll, the Chord option within Global Tracks does show the inversions -- “F/C” as opposed to simply “F” for example.
is there any way to set the Transport window, the Piano Roll, etc. to do the same?
Question 2):
Other than simply repositioning those blue chord symbols which appear in the Score window (after selecting the Insert Chords function), or editing them by double-clicking on them, are there any cleverly-hidden formatting options as well: font, font size, making the bottom letter smaller than the root letter, etc? Or has that kind of window-dressing not yet been built in?
Question 3):
If I change the actual notes of a chord (say by dragging some of them up or down in the Piano Roll), and if the chords in that region have already been analyzed, is there a way to “re-analzye” just that one chord, or just the one region of which it’s a part, without everything going wonky?
By wonky, I mean that when I’ve tried to do this, many of the other chord symbols suddenly change, some go out of alignment with the measure to which they belong, and chords from other regions disappear altogether. And in the Edit Menu it talks about how I’ve just Inserted a Transposition Change, even though the region I had selected contained no transpositions whatsoever. (And the same thing seems to happen regardless of whether the “Change Display Only” option is checked or not.)
So I simply Undo, and then manually enter the correct new chord name. But I’m guessing the above paragraph reflects some basic misunderstanding I must have about how the Analzye function is supposed to work. So if anyone could set me straight (or point me in the right RTFM direction) on that point, I’d be grateful.
Thanks,

Well, no takers after two weeks, but at least I can now answer one of the above questions myself for the benefit of anyone searching this topic.
Re Question 2, yes you CAN format the chord symbols imported onto a Score Editor page. Just click on the small Text button near the top of the Score window, and from the drop down list which appears choose "Text Styles...". That gives you a window with a list of a dozen or so elements (two of which are "Chord Root" and "Chord Ext."). Double-Clicking in the column to the right of any of those elements in turn opens a standard Font window which lets you format away -- it even offers options for that particular element to be boxed or circled. Only restriction is it looks like any changes you make are global to that Project for that particular element, which is what you'd want (for the sake of visual consistency) 99% of the time anyway.
Only follow-up question would be: is there any way to make any of those text formatting changes the default for all future projects when accessing the Score Editor?
Meantime, would still like to hear from anyone with thoughts on Question 1 (getting the Transport window to display chords with their inversions, a la the Global Tracks display) and/or Question 3 (is there a clean way to re-Analyze a region in which you may have changed some of the chords -- or is that just an unpredictably "buggy" area still to be avoided?)
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
