The diatonic element specifies the number of pitch steps needed to go from written to sounding pitch. This allows for correct spelling of enharmonic transpositions.

The chromatic element represents the number of semitones needed to get from written to sounding pitch. This value does not include octave-change values; the values for both elements need to be added to the written pitch to get the correct sounding pitch.

The octave-change element indicates how many octaves to add to get from written pitch to sounding pitch.
