Element: chord [group full-note]

Description

The chord element indicates that this note is an additional chord tone with the preceding note. Notes that are part of a chord will share the same stem if a stem is present. In MuseData, a missing duration indicates the same length as the previous note, but the MusicXML format requires a duration for chord notes too.
