I have Bach's Air on G String for piano. I tried the Add Chords Symbol Plug-In but nothing happens. I thought that this plug-in will automatically make a chord symbol by reading the harmony.
Am I doing something wrong?

I need to know a few things. is this Mac or PC? What version of the OS? What EXACT version of Sibelius (from Help-->About)?
Guesswork would say that you haven't selected the notes/chords before running the plugin. Also, by default, the plugin won't put chords where there are less than 3 different notes in the selection. You can change this in the dialog but, if there are not full triads, you'll get quite a lot of wild guesses.

If you have an active subscription or update plan, it might be worth goiong for the 2021.12 update. There have been a couple of fixes that might be useful.
Sorry, your image loaded very slowly!
If you have only 1 note in each hand (as your image shows) it's not really going to work. You'd be better off doing it yourself.
Maybe use the attached as a starting point...?

I have a subscription. The plug-in does not work. I think I have to take it with Avid.
Very disappointing.

The plugin DOES work. I use it all the time. However, it was designed to work with full chords, not diads. Because there are only two notes you will end up with a load of power chords! If you want to see the result un-tick this box in the dialog. (image)
