Selecting chord diagrams

How to see at what octave do I have to take the chord?
Another question: How do I see from the letters on a leadsheet if I have to play the plain chord or an inversion - or may it is always be allowed to have easier fingering?

In most lead-sheets, those choices are left up to the musician instead of as in sheet music defining the accompaniment note for note.

Not every note in every chord needs to be played every time...

Freedom and individual interpretation are hallmarks of jazz.
