I have a branch (lp:~tomasgroth/openlp/24bugfix-backport2) with some fixes backported from trunk that
I'll try to get ready within a few days.

I've started some work on chord support based on the work posted to the forum, but it is far from ready yet.
But hopefully it will be ready for 2.6

Actually, I don't think QtWebkit is removed from PyQt 5.6, so it might not be as pressing as we thought.
The PyQt docs lists both QtWebkit and QtWebEngine:
