Remarks

An xml:id attribute, while not required by the schema, is needed so that harm elements can reference a particular chord definition. The pos (position) attribute is provided in order to create displayable chord tablature grids. chordMember sub-elements record the individual pitches of the chord. barre sub-elements may be used when a single finger is used to stop multiple strings.
