Hi Elaine, > IMHO, it is far, far, *far*
Three “fars”… that’s pretty far. =) > worse to play a C major triad when a C7sus4 is specified than to play a Csus4 > and omit the 7th. Did you even read what I wrote before replying? This is what I actually wrote: > it’s more important to play (e.g.,) an unaltered C7 than a C sus triad > without the 7th Exactly where in there did I suggest that one should play a “C major triad”? > playing the 3rd instead of the 4th changes it from a dominant function to > more like a subdominant function Wait… what? Playing <c f g bf> makes it a dominant function, and playing <c e g bf> (i.e., playing the 3rd instead of the 4th) makes it subdominant? When <c e g bf> is the actual definition of a dominant 7th? I’m seriously confused… Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
