Hi,

Did anyone ever try to typeset dissonant chords like { < c cis d > } ? I can remember having seen chords like this frequently in Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos book V or VI , edition Boosey & Hawkes.

I don't have a scan or a scanner, but it would approximately look something like this:


                
0 0|#0
                 |/
                 |


Watch the "/" line that is attached to the main stem. I don't know if there are generally accepted rules on how to notate something like this, but this is what I have seen more than once.

Lilypond seems to accept < c cis d > ( unlike Mup ) but does not typeset it in a readable way automatically. Can it be done with some advanced tricks ? (In the meantime I'll look up some real life examples from Bartok if anyone needs it)

I haven't tried typesetting this type of chord but I'm pretty sure Samuel Barber used them in "The monk and his cat," too. If a scan would help then I can scan an example and send to the list next time I go to the office.
