2.3.5 Combining notes into chords

Chords can be made by surrounding pitches with single angle brackets. Angle brackets are the symbols `<' and `>'.

     
     r4 <c e g>4 <c f a>2

You can combine markings like beams and ties with chords. They must be placed outside the angle brackets

     
     r4 <c e g>8[ <c f a>]~ <c f a>2
