Huh.  This is probably a bit artificial: it does not as much describe an
actual use case as it does describe the layers of nesting of music
expression.

A chord constituent is something written inside of <  >.  You can write
things like
< $#{ c' #} $#{ e'4 #} >

The first #{...#} cranks out just a pitch (which of course can be used
inside of a chord).  The second cranks out a NoteEvent (its duration is
actually overriden when the closing angle bracket is written) rather
than, as before, a NoteEvent inside of an EventChord.  As such, it fits
inside of a chord as well.
