Like with the hierarchy of contexts that makes it a mess to figure out
just where and when to set a property, the tweak should percolate to
where it makes sense.

Personally, I'd consider it more predictable if c did not create a
chord, but it would likely make a mess of existing music functions and
their application designed by reverse engineering.
