humdrumR includes a easy-to-use system for
generating a variety of tertian harmony (chord) representations,
which can be flexibly modified by users.
"Under the hood" humdrumR represents all tonal chord information using the same underlying representation,
which is typically extracted from input data using the chord parser.
This representation can then be "deparsed" into a variety of predefined output formats (like **harm),
or into new formats that you create!
Details
Deparsing is the second step in the chord function processing pipeline:
Input representation
|>Parsing
|>Intermediate (tertianSet) representation
|>Transformation

Deparsing (DEPARSING ARGS GO HERE)

Output representation
Various pitch representations can be generated using predefined chord functions like chord()
tertian(), and roman().
All of these functions use a common deparsing framework, and are specified using different combinations of arguments
to the deparser.
By modifying these "deparsing" arguments, you can exercise
fine control over how you want pitch information to be represented in your output.
