Please provide any additional information below.

Ive attempted to add slurs and ties to chords which i have already created 
or chords which i have created but not added to the staff.
So far my code is as of follows for a tie but producing no results, as for 
a slur ive tried the methods it has but to no avail! 

        Vector v = new Vector();
        v.addElement(new Note(Note.f));
        v.addElement(new Note(Note.D));
        v.addElement(new Note(Note.C, AccidentalType.SHARP, ONE));

        MultiNote ms = new MultiNote(v);
        MultiNote mn = new MultiNote(v);

        TieDefinition tie = new TieDefinition();
        tie.setStart(ms.getLowestNote());
        tie.setEnd(mn.getLowestNote());
        ms.getLowestNote().setTieDefinition(tie);
        mn.getLowestNote().setTieDefinition(tie);

        music.addElement(ms);
        music.addElement(mn);

Cheers

Furthermore you answered a question previously about play back and changing the 
colours of the notes as it plays but i think you might have deleted it i cant 
seem 
to find it?

Hi,
In your example you share the same notes instances between the two multinotes.
Could you please try to have dedicated Note instances for each MultiNote ?
Notes are not cloned when being given to the multiNote constructor.
Try something like this and tell me :
Vector v = new Vector();
        v.addElement(new Note(Note.f));
        v.addElement(new Note(Note.D));
        v.addElement(new Note(Note.C, AccidentalType.SHARP, ONE));
Vector v2= new Vector();
v2.add...
..
..

        MultiNote ms = new MultiNote(v);
        MultiNote mn = new MultiNote(v2);

Colors of the note are changed using 
http://abc4j.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/abc/ui/swing/JScoreComponent.html
#setSelectedItem(abc.notation.MusicElement)
or
http://abc4j.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/abc/ui/swing/JScoreComponent.html
#setSelectedItem(abc.ui.swing.JScoreElement)

Cheers

Cheers thats brilliant i knew it would be something trivial like that! As for 
chord 
slurs how would you go about that, ive tried a few ways and again it doesnt 
seem to 
be working?

Strange issue surrounding chord slur definitions       

        MultiNote ms = new MultiNote(v);
        MultiNote mn = new MultiNote(v2);

        SlurDefinition secondSlur = new SlurDefinition();
        secondSlur.setStart(ms);
        secondSlur.setEnd(mn);
        ms.setSlurDefinition(secondSlur);
        mn.setSlurDefinition(secondSlur);

        System.out.println(ms.isBeginingSlur()); //returns true
        System.out.println(mn.isEndingSlur()); //returns true

        Note s  = new Note(Note.A);
        music.addElement(ms);
        music.addElement(new BarLine());
        music.addElement(s);
        music.addElement(mn);

But no slur definition is displayed?? Any ideas?
