03 Third Order/Placement Modes/Sustaining

Sustaining

Sustaining names the placement mode where participation is primarily carried through continuation, maintenance, recovery, or preservation of carrying.

Trace

Read

Sustaining becomes recognisable where a note is primarily placed by what keeps a condition going, restores it, preserves it, or lets it continue without losing compatibility.

Structural Role

Sustaining is a placement mode, not an order root. It sorts third-order notes whose primary carrying is continuation, maintenance, recovery, or preservation of carrying.
