-If you want to put beams over chords, you will find that the obvious

-In order to create triplets, you must use a length multiplier after

-bracket code(]) should be followed by the fraction code(1/1) in order
-to restore normal note lengths.  To create a triplet without a beam,
-place a backslace code(\) before the opening and closing brackets.

 A tie connects two adjacent note heads.  When used with chords, it

 Is the last paragraph correct?  Is it called "tremolo"?  Why is
 "abbreviation" used?  (What is the unabreviated form?)
