"Werner LEMBERG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote, regarding ties and rules for
their placement in chords:
Here are my rules again for reference:
sequentially from top to bottom:
+ The topmost tie is always `up'.
+ If there is a vertical gap to the last note above larger
than or equal to a fifth (or sixth?), the tie is `up',
otherwise it is `down'.
+ The bottommost tie is always `down'.

Hello Werner-- Just out of curiosity, how would your rules above
accommodate a tied version of the following voicing of an A
minor 9 chord, a voicing I tend to use frequently, which has an
interval of a second internal to the chord rather than at top or
bottom:
treble clef staff, notes (from top to bottom): e'' c'' b' g'
Wouldn't your rule specify that the c'' and b' would both have
ties that arc down, since that interval (a second) is smaller
than a fifth? In this case, the rule Han-Wen mentioned of ties of
seconds arcing in opposite directions would seem preferable,
right?
Best wishes,
Steve D
