These functions extract notes from chords such as the root note, the highest pitch, specific position among the notes by pitch, or trim chords to simplify them. They operate based only on ordered pitches.
For chord_slice(), any entry that is empty after slicing is dropped. An
error is thrown is index is completely out of bounds for all chords.
