You first have to undo the line wrapping. ;-) Then you get something that is equivalent to: [V:1] A2 E2 G2 A2 | A B c d e f g a |] [V:2] | A A A A A A A A |] [V:3] | A G F E D C B, A,|] This should all be on one staff, of course. With only two bars, it's not very motivating. But if you only have a few bars like this in a larger piece of music, it can save you a lot of typing and futzing with two voices that are mostly silent. (For some reason, this example reminds me of the piano piece by Mozart, which ended with widely separated chords for the left and right hands, plus one note in the middle to be played with your nose.)
