// For the left hand chord (the basic accomp. on an
// accordion, we use a combination of a chord and
// bass pattern. The BASS track is a single note on
// beat 1, the CHORD track has full chords on 2, 3.
// Accordion basses are quite limited ... in most cases
// a single octave. So, to duplicate this sound we use
// the SPAN directive for Chord and Bass to limit
// the notes used from C3.
