Wouldn’t it be even more efficient just use each bit for a chord type?
Major, minor, augmented, diminished, etc. with some 4th, sixth, and
sevenths, thrown in and just use the note value as the root?  If you wanted
to get fancy one of the other auxs could set the voicing/inversion.  I have
a hard time believing that we really need completely user configurable
chords with the number of chord types you could easily pack into 7 bits. It
seems really clunky to have to enter the chord data individually for each
step.   I guess when I’m composing with chords, I’m thinking in terms of
the chord blocks themselves instead of the actual notes that make them up.
But, that’s just me…

This is sort of what I was thinking of.
Each aux has a 7 bit value range, so I was going to assign a particular
interval to each bit.
These might be minor third, major third, fourth, fifth, sixth, minor
seventh, and major seventh.
You'd be able to select any combination of those on top of the primary note.
That would certainly be the most code efficient way to do it.
