On most older QRS rolls, I notice that the long note perforations are
_not_ chain bridged. However, the sustain pedal perfs usually are.
This seems odd to me, especially when the note holes are longer then
the sustain holes. I suppose the thinking was that the only really long
perfs would be the sustain holes, and that the close proximity to the edge
of the roll would cause problems. However, I find there is also a lack of
stability when you have long, blocked chords with several long perfs close
together. Has anyone else pondered this? Does anyone care?(!) It just
seems a bit odd. ...
