All the other features that join two or more notes start after the first note, e.g. a slur is: a( b) and a beam is: a[b]
But a ligature bracket is: \[a b\] I'm not saying this is wrong, and I'm certainly not saying it should be changed. But it would help me remember when I haven't transcribed a ligature for a few months if someone explained why it was done this way. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 <http://www.laymusic.org/> <http://www.serpentpublications.org> Like most of those who study history, he [Napoleon] learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.
