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.
