How do I enter chords with notes of different duration?
A “chord” in (Mozart 4 onwards) is a vertical collection of notes of the same duration in a single strand (melodic line). It may contain an arbitrary number of notes. To have parallel notes of different durations on the same stave, they must be in different strands. Use the ScoreLayout command to add a second (or further) strand to a stave. When editing a piece with more than one strand on a stave it is often convenient to split the strands temporarily on to different staves (to see more clearly what you are doing) and recombine them on the same stave when you’ve finished. This is done with the ScoreSeparate and ScoreCombine commands. For more information see the topic “Techniques for editing complex scores” in the on-line help (of Mozart 4 onwards).
