Re: unexpected digit with tied chords a manual documentation lack

[Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence]

I found the problem- the manual doesn't really explain this very well.
The example(s)  in chapter 6 of the manual leave out any mention of how 
to define the value of the chord - it turns out that it must be entered 
outside the <> not inside as I had thought.
