Ok, I know all about the various musical symbols, what I don't get are symbols with chords. I figured out the minus sign = minor and the little circle is diminished so does the little triangle mean major, and the little circles with the slash mean augmented?

"-" means minor: Cm = C- (Cmi and Cmin aren't recognized by the iRp player)
The triangle means maj.7: CΔ = CΔ7
circle means diminished: Co
circle with a slash means half-diminished, think min7b5: CØ = CØ7 = C-7b5 = Cm7b5

the + means augmented (#5): C+ = C#5

In an augmented chord (triad) each note is separated by a major third (two whole steps).
Each note in an augmented chord can be named as its root note.
C+ = C, E, G# so C+ = E+ = G#+ = Ab+

The player recognizes the qualities #5 or +.
"aug" (augmented) takes up more space and is not recognized.
The notes in the chords are the same.

Four augmented triads can accommodate all 12 roots.
An augmented chord shape can be slid up or down four frets.

C+ has no (diminished) 7th - it is just an augmented (5th) triad
C7+ adds the (diminished) 7th (Bb) and #5
Some alternative spellings are recognized, like C7+ or C+7

The triangle with + is not recognized (you will find Δ7#5.) (maj7#5 is also recognized)

If there is anything the player does not recognize, it will warn you it cannot play it.
