Excatly, that was my question. > When at bottom level, << >> without \\ is just a temporal rearrangement > tool. Ok. So after this being confirmed, I wonder why would one use such a syntax? I mean, you will always find border cases that are still allowed by the parser but still make no sense and therefore throw warnings for syntax that would work in a more sensible context. At first I thought tie directions (^_) would not work without chords, but they do for single notes, inside chords and for whole chords as I would expect it. So, sorry Simon, this is not meant to be rude, it just seems like I don't understand your problem.
