the Chord Type as "- -," your original

other than "C," for example as a "D" non-chord
type, your original performance data will be
played back transposed a whole step higher.

bass note is something other than the root of
the chord). If you don't want to specify an on-
bass chord, set this to "- -."
Range: - -, C–B

will be ignored even if you specify it.
