If we're going for the MUTE command (whatever name it will have) just forget anything I said about $_Plectrum_Sustain
.
This is the background: I have a groove GA that plucks the A string (5) plus some higher notes (strings 3,2,1). Then I switch to a groove GE that plucks the G on the E string (6) plus some notes (strings 3,2,1). In this particular case I do not want the A note on the A string to keep sounding, since it botches with the G note. This is a typical situation where a guitar player manually silences the 5th string before hitting the note on the 6th string. To obtain this functionality when switching grooves no longer silences sounding strings the MUTE command is applied:
Plectrum Mute 5
This mutes the 5th string (and only the 5th). In full:
Groove GA
27 Am
Groove GE
Plectrum Mute 5
28 G
Sidenote: I think
Mute 5 is easier than
Mute - x - - - - but that's juts bikeshedding
Either form will do. Having said that, it may be interesting to have a generalized 'range' notation like
3,2 or
1,4-5 etc. This may be useful when defining sequences, e.g.
Sequence { 1 0 6:80 5-3,1:60 2:70 }
