it as a chord (this is the reason why the C majorC is minor in the Ce notation,
instead of a regular C majorC note)

~  :  slide
p  :  pull-off
h  :  hammer
(10) :  transition note

verses

Long bridge (Violin part)Disk Time 03:47 mn
It's very easy to pick the cello and pan flute notes played
over that bridge, so I didn't bother writing them.
