[ddots-l] Re: roling piano cords

Hi, Sara, 
Try to select "arpegio" from the "lines" dialogue by pressing L and moving with 
the arrow keys and than, pressing enter on the right option. I don't know how 
to make it so that the left hand continues the arpegio of the right, but you 
get the notes held down this way. 

Best regards and good luck 

Nili

  Well I tried the grase note thing and it did not work at all. I like my notes 
held down and I could not figure out the note directins of that short of a note 
but you want it to be held down. I can play an example on my real piano at home 
if you want so you can hear what i mean.

  : Sarah,

  : Not entirely sure, but first if you are doing an arpeggio (broken
  : chord) you could divide the duration by the number of notes and
  : assign that note value to each step in the chord. Then add a slur
  : across the entire set of notes (left hand and right hand if you wish)
  : by assigning a line to the entire set of highlighted notes.    
  : 
  : I think slurs are in the lines dialog. Again I don't have my desktop
  : up and running now, so just taking a stab at it.
