Re: Syntax and Usage Question for guitar transcription

[Scott Tracey]

Thank you. Your answer helps.

I only sent one measure of the piece. Everything matches the original 
transcription except the last chord which should be part of the first 
measure. Based on your answer, I have hacked my script to get it to 
render properly in the first measure but that hack only gets me so far. 
In short, I am using the \tweak feature improperly or for the wrong 
objective.

As for using a tie, I will research that. I am trying to script a piece 
of music to match the original sheet music. I do not think a tie was 
originally used.
