RE: Cascade Chords
Got it. Werner’s answer -- using \set tieWaitForNote = ##t -- is what I was looking for. Thanks. It might be helpful to include that snippet in the chords section.

Maybe a “cascade chord” is a “slow” arpeggio, but what I’m thinking of, each added note occurs on a specific fraction of a measure, say every 1/8 or 1/16, or even ¼ note. The build-up is slow and regular enough that you actually hear successive notes. I’m not sure “cascade” is even the right term—that’s what Bing told me. Let’s say I play and hold C, then 1/8 note later I add and hold E, then 1/8 note later add and hold G, then 1/8 later add and hold high C (or Bb if it’s a C7), then hold the whole thing for the rest of the measure. Arpeggios don’t necessarily have a timing attached and thus could be played as 1/8th or whatever speed you (or whoever plays the music) deems appropriate. However if you want it written explicitly then the example Werner provided should get you a long way towards your goal.

Cascade Chords
Is there a special notation for cascade chords (chords played by adding successive notes )? I could do it by adding a new voice for each note, but that seems unwieldly and cluttered.
