After finding out recently that there is an OSX Mac app - MIDIKit available for editing all the data found in MIDI files including Yamaha format data such as Sysex Chords etc- I discovered that recently this developer added a means to view and edit ( in lost mode only ) chord looper .CLD files.
I recently asked him to also consider supporting editing of .CLD bank files - and then thought: Why not create a seperate new app focused specifically on simply editing in a user-friendly graphic way any of the up-to-eight chord progressions contained in a .clb or in a .cld file in the manner of arranger apps like BandInABox or iRealPro. ?

Currently I often improvise a left hand chord progression and record it - but the timing - and occasional chord command is often mistakenly off - so an easy means of just quantising the chord sysex commands to the nearest quarter note or half-a-bar etc is fine, at least for me it is.
I would also suggest adding some features to support importing chord progressions from other common file formats - such as MusicXML and ABC Notation. Both BIAB and iReal Pro support exporting their "songs" ( progressions ) as MusicXML - and BandInABox also supports exporting in the ABC notation format as explained here:
