I have a piece of music I'm transcribing that's never been transcribed
before, so I'm not sure how to notate it.
It's a broken chord where all the notes should ring for another two
measures. My two attempts are below:
\version "2.19.15"
\language "english"
\relative c''' {
%% Method one
\slurDown a,,=8 ( e''16 b g ds'8. ~ <e ds b g a,>2 ) ~ | q1 ~ | q1
%% Method two
<<
{ \voiceTwo a,,1 ~ | a1 ~ | a1 | }
\\
{ \voiceThree r8 e''4. ~ e2 ~ | e1 ~ | e1 | }
\\
{ \voiceTwo s8 s16 b16 ~ b4 ~ b2 ~ | b1 ~ | b1 | }
\\
{ \voiceTwo s4 g4 ~ g2 ~ | g1 ~ | g1 | }
\\
{ \voiceOne \tieDown
s4 s16 ds'8. ~ ds2 ~ | ds1 ~ | ds1 | }
>>
}
With method one, it's very evident how to play the line, but only the a and
the ds slurs/ties. Ideally, all of the notes would have slurs/ties to the
half note chord.
Method two is perhaps more literal, but it's hard to see how the line is
played.
Is there a better way to indicate that the broken chord is held? In piano
music I would use a sustain pedal indicator, but this music might be played
by a guitar.
