Hello all,

I thought there was a consensus that chords with different lengths, e g [aD2], should 
be treated as having the length of the first note in the chord.

| Another historic moment!  Phil and Bryan and I all agree on
| something! Put it in the standard, quick, before we lose it!

But the standard still says:

| All the notes within a chord should have the same length. More
| complicated chords can be transcribed with the & operator, see
| section Voice overlay.
| 
| Some packages allow chords with notes of different lengths.
| However, currenly the semantics of such chords are not well-
| defined and differ from package to package.

Is this going to be changed?

(IMHO, this "feature" would be just *great*! It solves many cases of a single chord in 
a bar, where the & notation should be rather clumsy and unreadable)
