### 2.10 Combining notes into chords

Chords can be made by surrounding pitches with angle brackets. Angle brackets are the symbols ``<`' and ``>`'.

>          r4 <c e g>4 <c f a>8

You can combine markings like beams and ties with chords. They must be placed outside the angled brackets

>          r4 <c e g>8[ <c f a>]~ <c f a>

    r4 <c e g>8\>( <c e g> <c e g> <c f a>\!)
