As CSeye pointed there is no MIDI display during playback. Even that there are a few alternatives...
Alternative One
For example, if you use a Software Instrument you can cable the instrument channel strip to a Monitor object, re-size the Monitor as you wish, make it as float "frameless" window, make screensets for each instrument etc. A complex environment setup can be made as well so you can switch the instrument monitor view via some numerical or text fader or midi message etc.
Note: In this scenario you will be able to monitor the midi events only - the Chord variations can not be shown in the Environment monitors like they do in the Transport!
A special "Chord Monitoring" complex environment tools is possible as well. I have developed a "Chord Translator" which can recognize chord variations and transform them into a given single note (sample) which is useful to play accord guitar samples "musically" (I show that tool in the middle of the demo video in my web page here - there is a diagram with some info about too). It will not be a problem to add or cable just a Text fader (with chord variations names) to its output it it should work...
Alternative Two
You can use the IAC to re-route the Logic midi out to its input.
Here you must take care to prevent from midi feedback which can crash Logic so follow the example steps if you want to try out:
1. Enable the IAC port in the Mac AMS (at least one port).
2. If you want to monitor a Software Instrument then patch/cable a Standard Instrument object from the channel strip, select the Standard Instrument object and set its port to IAC.
3. Before Logic running do not forget to arm OFF the software instrument (R) button otherwise you will go into midi feedback! Solo the track and run Logic - the Transport will show the chord variations (if any) and the midi data...

Thanks for the your time and the nice images CSeye !
Unfortunately I do not have any time for Logic lately (I have not touch it for months), so everything I post here is offline based on my experience only. Such illustrations like yours are helpful indeed, so your support is highly appreciated !
By the way have a Happy New 2013!![]()
