Re: Simple tie question

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you don't explicitly write out the duration of a note,
it gets the same duration as the previous note; c16 d e f.
It's exactly the same with chords; c16 <d b,> e f

In your ex1, both chords get the same duration as the
first c'.

(By the way, have you learnt about \relative yet? It seems that
you would save the '-key on you keyboard if you used it).
