"Tensions" are not currently a semantic part of Chord Names for display, so
there is not a way of saying, for example, "Print all.tensions in italic
bold"

However, it is possible  to add chordExceptions for a particular
combination of tensions, and that will affect the display of any chord
containg that set of tensions.
