Re: Glossary index [was: how to get notes without tails?]

I avoided using "Vorhalt". A "Vorhalt" is not a proper word in this 
context. A "Vorhalt" is in English a "suspension". That means that in a 
shift of harmony from one chord to another one or more notes of the 
first chord are played again (or held, prolonged) against the second 
chord, so I understand this as a suspension, a delay of the change to 
the new chord creating tension that will be resolved with the new 
harmony or note. So, "Vorhalt" has nothing in common with any grace 
note. A suspension must use the same note(s) present in the preceding 
chord. Otherwise it is an appoggiatura.

But indeed some people in Germany use "Vorschlag" and "Vorhalt" faulty 
as synonymously.
