Is it legal abc to have a rest in a chord? For instance:
X:0 T:Example L:1/8 M:4/2 K:G [zG8 B8 d8]gfe dcBA G8 Failing that we really do need the number on the end like X:1 T:Example L:1/8 M:4/2 K:G [G8 B8 d8]1gfe dcBA G8 Note that one might need single note "chords" with a length. This leads to interesting things (Bach's prelude no.1 comes to mind) like X:2 T:Example L:1/8 M:4/2 K:G [C,8]1[C7]1[E6]1[G5]1 [c4]1[e3]1[g2]1c Can someone explain why "first note determines length" is better than "shortest determines length". A counter example that doesn;t work the other way would be nice, especially if it were not contrived. Laurie To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
