If you don't explicitly write out the duration of a note, it gets the same duration as the previous note; c16 d e f. It's exactly the same with chords; c16 <d b,> e f
In your ex1, both chords get the same duration as the first c'.
(By the way, have you learnt about \relative yet? It seems that you would save the '-key on you keyboard if you used it).

Thanks to all who answered. I promise to read the manual more thoroughly! :-) But I still don't understand why ex1 works!?

Hello,
why does the 2nd example not work?
ex1:
--
\score {
\notes {
c' c' <c' e' g'> ~ <c' e' g'>
}
}
\paper {}
--
ex2:
--
\score {
\notes {
c' c' <c'8 e' g'> ~ <c' e' g'>
}
}
\paper {}
--
ex2 produces:
"syntax error, unexpected DIGIT, expecting NOTENAME_PITCH or '>': c' c' <c' 8 e' g'> ~ <c' e' g'>"
Thank you,
Thomas
