I've seen that Skink happily supports this notation too. (and multiple undo, I've just noticed that) I hope more and more programs will be able to handle this, and maybe the standard could allow it too. >> Perhaps it should be by length of the first note in the chord.

I've thought to that too, in fact I find it logical to use a tie before a new barline instead of having notation like that : cd[C4e2]d2[c2A,4] | [A,2d]e[B,4f2]e2[d2G,4] etc. Here is an example : (I've just realized that my notation is incorrect, I should have begun with cd | [C4e2] etc. to avoid the ties and to be on the correct strong beat. This tune was one of the first I've transcribed. Nevertheless it's just an example to illustrate the idea of this [A4A2] notation) X:4 T:Rapunsel C:Kari Rueslċtten D:Demo Recordings O:Norge Z:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://anamnese.fr.st M:4/4 L:1/8 Q:1/4=100 K:Eb cd[C4e2]d2[c2A,2-] | [A,2d]e[B,4f2]e2[d2G,2-] |\ [G,2c]d[C4e2]d2[A,2c2] | [G,2=B]c [G,2B2][C4c4] | "/.../" In an other tunes, I was really stuck because I had already 3 voices, it was a really long tune, and I didn't want to had a 4th voice full of rests just to add some extra notes in the last mesure, so I think there is a real need for such a notation... In guitar it's often there is a pedal note (or a chord) whereas there is a melody line above, and to have only a voice is more logical in a certain way. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
