Chord Events
Chord events are representations of chords that allow you to control or transpose playback on
MIDI and instrument tracks.
Chord events alter the pitches of MIDI notes if their track is set up to follow the chord track.
Chord events have a specic start position. Their end, however, is determined by the start of the
next chord event. They can have a root note, a type, a tension, and a bass note.
