And how does this cope with my guitar example? If I've got this right,
you need the semantic information to be able to print the chord name,
but you can't transpose the chord name without at least *some* (namely
the root) note information. So if the name and note information are
separated, it will be impossible to print "lead sheets" as I believe
they are called - very common in music for choirs!

Cheers,
