#### 2.3.5 Combining notes into chords

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

>          r4 <c e g>4 <c f a>2

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

>          r4 <c e g>8[ <c f a>]~ <c f a>2

>          r4 <c e g>8\>( <c e g> <c e g>4 <c f a>\!)
