21.6.1. Small and Normal Notes within a Chord

Both normal and small notes occurring within the same chord may be shown by either of two methods. Using the first approach (a), the normal and small notes may be given in separate sides of an in-accord. Otherwise (b), the small or large notes that are shown in braille as intervals may be indicated by the appropriate signs before the interval signs. If the small or large note is the written note of the chord in braille, that chord must be shown with an in-accord to avoid the impression that the entire chord is similarly printed. When these signs are used for notes that are shown in braille as intervals, the signs may only be doubled if the intervals themselves are doubled.

(a) Small notes shown with in-accords

(b) Intervals marked with large-note signs
