Comment #6 on issue 2653 by [email protected]: Midi output does not
respect tied notes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2653
I have always played two notes which are the same note tied together with
a slur
as tied notes.
Those marks, that look somewhat like slurs, joining those notes were not
slurs; they were ties. Sometimes people write slurs joining notes on the
same pitch, usually with another mark to indicate the type of
note-separation.
The manual section on Rhythms explains how to input ties, the section on
Expressive Marks explains slurs, and there is a glossary explaining the
difference. The section on Rhythms, which comes first, even has a note
warning that slurs and ties are different.
