Every instance has a note value of a dotted quarter-note. There is, however, one (only one!) instance where the upper note cannot be held the full value, because it would be physically impossible to play. I want to avoid splitting this into separate voices because it would clutter up the measure, (would require 4 separate voices on one staff) and make reading more cumbersome. thanks! dirck
