<< While we would never write a chord like D/D in regular notation >>
This puzzles me, likely from my lack of knowledge of notation, but if the Bass music is playing D/D, why would that never be notated? What would be the correct notation?
From my novice understanding, in Matt's example, if I want to force a descending bass line I would like to be able to write D/F,D/E | D/D,D/C; Wouldn't the bass notation be written to follow the slash chords exactly?
