Hi
This is not exactly a Lilypond doubt...
but imagine a chord, in a left hand piano piece, with <c d g a>
Lilypond will eventually put c and g at the left of the note stem, and
d and a at the right (what it does exactly is not relevant for the
question).
The question is:
is the side of the note relevant when analyzing a music?
Basically, during my music formation, nobody ever told me anything
about that. But last week, when asking a friend daughter to verify a
transcription, she said that the notes at the right of the stem should
be the ones relevant for the chord, and that the side of them is
relevant...
Do any of you ever heard anything about that? Or did you read anything?
If so, can you share your knowledge on that?
If you ask me, that’s nonsense. Maybe someone at some time invented such
a system, but if that is so, then it’s a very rare corner case and not
applicable to the vast majority of scores.
I also don’t think it’s useful (except to visualise some point made in a
theoretical paper), since it will seriously impair legibility.
Yours, Simon
