Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

Currently alphaTab renders the effects like let ring and palm mute individually per each voice. While this is not correct, it rather bloats the music sheet. Guitar Pro 7 and 8 also merge those effects across voices to be shown only once.

Additionally I noticed with this example that let ring doesn't expand on tied notes which seem to be the case in GP7 and GP8. Might be a bug. We should extend line effects like this to tied notes.
