## HarmTrace Base: Parsing and unambiguously representing musical chords 

HarmTrace base is a library for representing musical chords. It is used a 
small number of programs. A Chordify we build our back-end in Haskell and the 
HarmTrace-Base library is used to represent, store, manipulate, print chords 
etc. Basically the library offers a set of types and classes for representing 
musical chords in an unambiguous manner as presented in [1].
