Chords are not handled in a special way, and hence the automatic
@code{StringTunings} property.
LilyPond comes with predefined string tunings for banjo, mandolin,
-guitar and bass guitar. Lilypond automatically sets the correct
+guitar and bass guitar. LilyPond automatically sets the correct
transposition for predefined tunings. The following example is
for bass guitar, which sounds an octave lower than written.
A string pitch in a string tuning list is the pitch difference
of the open string from middle C measured in semitones. The
-string pitch must be an integer. Lilypond calculates the actual
+string pitch must be an integer. LilyPond calculates the actual
pitch of the string by adding the string tuning pitch to the
actual pitch for middle C.
