Note setA group of concrete MIDI pitches with octaves. It specifies one voicing and can be reduced to pitch classes or a rootless point shape.Grid LayoutA 2D interval grid system design where vertical and horizontal movements represent specific semitone intervals. Used as the foundation for grid-based music interfaces.Pitch-class setA selection of the twelve pitch classes, independent of octave and order. It says which pitches are present without choosing a chord root or voicing.Grid Position BankA collection of chord/scale positions on a 2D interval grid, presented as a bank of positions without temporal ordering Hexagonal Layout Hexagonal note layout.String PositionA specific fingering position for a chord or note set on a stringed instrument
