MusicXML:Element:chord
lastmod 2023-04-24created 2023-04-243 edits
The <chord> element indicates that this note is an additional chord tone with the preceding note.
The <duration> of a <chord> note does not move the musical position within a <measure> (bar).
That is done by the <duration> of the first preceding note without a <chord> element.
Therefore, the <duration> of a <chord> note cannot be longer than the preceding note.
In most cases the <duration> is the same as the preceding note. However, it can be shorter in situations such as multiple stops for string instruments.
