A curved line joining two notes of the same pitch into one sound.
Also known as: Bind, Curve joining two notes
A curve joining two notes of the same pitch makes them one sound of combined length. It is drawn exactly like a slur, and confusing the two is the commonest reading error in notation.
Joins two notes of the same pitch into a single sound lasting their combined length, so the second is not played again.
Contexts: Music
Is the only way to write a note lasting longer than a bar, since a notehead cannot cross a bar line.
Contexts: Music
Is drawn identically to a slur, which is why the pitches of the joined notes are what a reader must check.
Contexts: Music
A short thin arc springing from one notehead and landing on the next, thickest at its middle, joining two heads at the same height on the staff.
Identical drawings; the pitches distinguish them.
