Re: Display of a common chord with a changing bass

[Shane Brandes]

   If in A major then I^3-I^11-I^6? Where presumably the D is just a
passing note between two inversions of A major chord located on a weak
part of the beat and therefore a contrapuntally ambivalent location?
Is this a common notation practice in certain circles?
i have never seen it before, but rarely fiddle with lead sheets.
   Try the Lilypond snippet repository.
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Search which has a large amount of useful
things that can be looked at for all manner of useful things.
    Maybe someone else will have a more useful programming insight/
Best of luck

Shane
