Ties across a bar played as two notes

[gitonthescene]

First off, thank you for this amazing project. I only discovered it a couple of days ago and am having a lot of fun with it.

I tried the following transcription with the online tool and when I try to play the wav file it looks like the G sharp that crosses the bar is played as two notes rather than an extended single note. It seems to be unrelated to indicated accidental on one side of the bar.

I have some programming experience so I might try to figure out what the issue is but I thought I'd post anyway so it doesn't get lost.

Ties in ABC that play continuously are indicated with a - after the note.

Wrapping notes with parentheses only visually shows the tie, if you want to have notes actually played tied, you join the with a hyphen.

Examples of both styles attached. I will close this item as works as intended.

This shows both non-playing parenthesis-based and playing hyphen-based style ties in ABC:

From the ABC 2.1 spec about ties vs. slurs on notes of the same pitch:

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. Sorry for the noise. I'm clearly not very experienced with abc.

No problem, I had the same confusion with them myself for a while.On Jun 12, 2024, at 2:53 AM, gitonthescene @.***> wrote: Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. Sorry for the noise. I'm clearly not very experienced with abc.
