That's just the point. YOUR experience, not mine. And to put it another way,
YOUR market, not mine. ("Every player I know...") I disagree with your
evaluation of the impropriety of using vertical chord symbols to mean
alternate bass. But I am unlikely ever to produce charts that you or the
music makers you play with or write for will read, and vice versa, and it
must be said that context means everything. In other words, the issue
differs for the two markets, and one is no more inferior than the other,
just *different.*I assure you that vertically stacked chords are in fact used by at least one major segment of choral music publishing, i.e. the evangelical choral market. In your eyes they may be wrong but that's your eyes. Their market accepts it as normal. I was an editor for such a publisher and the issue of polytonal chord symbols never came up. --Richard > From: Darcy James Argue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > This is not my experience at all, and I can assure you that every > player I know would object to using vertically stacked symbols to > indicate an alternate bass.
