threads

[David Bobroff]

Thanks Graham for the pointer to the "Thread" message.  With that example I
got it in one.

Now, about threads; I have to notate some string parts in which two notes
are sounding but it isn't just plain old double-stops.  There is a drone on
an open string with several measures tied together while the upper note
changes.  Is "thread" the proper mechanism for this?  Can a thread context
go on for several measures at a time?  Would this allow me to have
independant articulations (slurs etc.) for the two lines?  I just want to
be sure I've got some sort of grasp on this before coding a bunch of garbage.

Thanks,

David Bobroff
