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. Knute Snortum (via Gmail)
