It shows exactly what is on the picture. Have you tried it?

I don't think so. From what I gather, the original syntax would have
used <c4 d4 e4> for simultaneous music (which gets assembled into a
chord anyway), then added the chord syntax <<c d e>>4, then finally
interchanged <<...>> and <...> in their meaning.
However, <<c4 d4 e>> still remains a valid way to enter music that will
print as a chord (even though it will internally be represented as a
SimultanousMusic expression rather than an EventChord, this does not
affect typesetting).
So the essay is correct here. It may still look awkward given the
current alternatives.
