Actually, I'm still not really finding what I want in the snippets repository. I don't see how I can [for instance] get a minor 7th chord symbol. I just want to say "The chord here is F-7" [or Eb-6/9], without having to write out all the notes of the chord, which is what seems to happen in the snippets examples...
