Adhere Connection

(make-connection 'adhere access_reference1 access_reference2 weight)

The 'adhere connection takes three arguments:

• access_reference1: any access.
• access_reference2: any access.
• weight: (optional) controller weighing the interaction.

The weight controller is optional. If not provided, it defaults to 1.

The function (make-connection 'adhere ...) causes two access to have the same speed. The accesses need not have the same position; i.e., if two accesses whose positions differ by five meters are adhered, and one of the accesses is moved, the other will follow by the same amount. Nor do the accesses need to have the same direction. If, for example, a 'trans0 access on a string is adhered to a 'long access on an air column, a change in speed in the string will result in a change in the pressure of the air column by the same amount (in the respective units of each).

Use this connection whenever you want to “glue” two things together; like a string to a violin bridge, a bridge to a violin body, etc...

There are no special options for this connection.
