Detailed Description

Description of a chord.

A chord is described with a key note, a root note and the Bitmask of a chord.
1st bit set: minor second; 2nd bit set: major second, and so on.
There is no bit for the keynote (root of the chord) because it is inherently always present.
Examples:

• XXXX 0000 0100 1000 (= 0x0048) -> major chord
• XXXX 0000 0100 0100 (= 0x0044) -> minor chord
• XXXX 0010 0100 0100 (= 0x0244) -> minor chord with minor seventh
