I'm not real sure (so don't go by me), but I don't think positions are viewed as crucial on chromatic. Standard notation & tab would be the norm and one would tend to talk as:
'Being in this key or that key'. As for playing various keys on various keyed chromatics in order to obtain a third (variouser) key, I suggested doing that many years ago. It fell like a lead zeppelin.   tickle snicker
