How about merging this with Ligature (music) ? Peter S. 14:31, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As a professional musician, I have never heard a tie (or slur) referred to as a ligature, despite what it says in the ligature article. Most people use "ligature" exclusively to refer to early-music notation. —Wahoofive (talk) 16:08, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tie vs. slur

[edit]

How do you tell the difference between a tie and a slur when the slur has the same notes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.148.74 (talk) 00:37, May 29, 2006 (UTC)

this passage about tied notes makes me even more confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.110.240 (talk) 08:01, October 1, 2006 (UTC)

When are ties allowed?

[edit]

Is the tie in the 18th bar of this music [1] (see the 1959-2.gif image in that download) allowed between the D (1/2 note, I guess it should be a 1/4 note, but whatever) and the subsequent D (1/16th note) in this E-flat major treble clef staff? The free software Rosegarden program doesn't seem to allow me to enter it [2]. Can ties be "across" other notes that are played in between? PeterKnaggs (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2010

Seems like a legitimate tie between the half (yes, half makes sense there) and the sixteenth in the same voice. I don't know if you need to do anything special for divisi passages in Rosegarden— haven't used it. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 23:30, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additional citations

[edit]

Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth (talk) 23:52, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Example?

[edit]

It would be nice to see an example of 'Several notes in succession can be tied together. Such a succession can also be part of a larger, slurred phrase, in which case, ties and slurs must be used simultaneously and distinguishably.' 31.48.111.59 (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
