Im trying to make it where 1D will slide up to 2D while 4G is sustained throughout the duration. I did some tests and I wasn't able to get the result I wanted. Here some tests I ran.

What am I doing wrong here?

I would have thought something like this would work:

But it doesn't look like linknext is applying just to the note on the D string, instead applying to the entire chord:

      <notes count="3">
        <note time="1.520" string="2" fret="1" sustain="0.230" linkNext="1" slideTo="2" />
        <note time="1.751" string="2" fret="2" sustain="0.230" />
        <note time="1.751" string="3" fret="4" sustain="0.230" />
      </notes>
      <chords count="1">
        <chord time="1.290" chordId="0" linkNext="1" >
          <chordNote time="1.290" string="2" fret="1" sustain="0.230" />
          <chordNote time="1.290" string="3" fret="4" sustain="0.460" />
        </chord>
      </chords>

I don't recall if this behavior is intentional or if individual chordnotes can and should have linknext status. That approach also ends up with the chordnotes being different lengths, which Rocksmith doesn't really like.

 

I think this might be the best way to go:

Use the split status so it exports as single notes (so the limitation about chords with different length notes isn't an issue), and place a handshape phrase to make the game display the chord fingering:

    <chordTemplate chordName="" displayName="" finger2="1" finger3="4" fret2="1" fret3="4" />
...
      <notes count="4">
        <note time="1.290" string="2" fret="1" sustain="0.230" linkNext="1" />
        <note time="1.290" string="3" fret="4" sustain="0.691" />
        <note time="1.520" string="2" fret="1" sustain="0.231" linkNext="1" slideTo="2" />
        <note time="1.751" string="2" fret="2" sustain="0.230" />
      </notes>
...
        <handShape chordId="0" startTime="1.290" endTime="1.981"/>

You could also use ignore to make it work:

 

@@iminashi You know any DLCs that have this situation?

No, don't know if I've come across any.

You might put this in your guide just in case if someone come across a situation like this

@@raynebc Tried out your way. Looks exactly the way i wanted it.  ;) Up to you if you want to implement that feature with tech notes, but this a perfect workaround.

I was mistaken earlier, the linknext got applied correctly, but the chordnotes being different lengths is a more complicated problem. Using existing workarounds like the one I proposed (split status, manually defined handshape) or the chordify mechanism probably are the best options for now.

One official DLC that have this situation is Paper Wings by Rise Against if any of you want to study it.

Here's the chord slide off of Rise Against Paper Wings DLC(Rhythm arrangement):

 

 

iminashi thinks the chord doesn't look split, and I don't think Ubisoft has a Chordify-like feature. I could be wrong.

It's clearly not split since it has that double stop panel thingy.

Heres what it looks like in EOF on Paper Wings:

 

 

Tried that ingame, and came up with this:

 

 

Pretty much exactly as shown on the Standard Slide pic.
