That a good point Herbert. If that is the reason for the use of a piano to sound chords should not the same thing apply to clicking a note on the staff. No instrument change happens then though. I just find it annoying having set up channel 1 instrument on my external midi device to find Composer has changed it back to a piano just because I happened to click on a chord symbol. Perhaps this behaviour could be made a user option in setup.

...and a very happy new year to you and yours also.
