I have a 3 note blocks hooked up to a rail detector in the following pattern where C, E, and G are the notes, x is air, R is redstone and D is the detector rail; a trident redstone pattern:
CXEXG
RXRXR
RRRRR
XXRXX
XXDXX
Just hooked up with redstone it plays the chord perfectly. WHY? It seems there would be an extra tick on C & G from the extra length of redstone that would necessite a two-tick repeater on E. It doesn't need one. Even a one-tick repeater E plays late. I thought redstone required one tick for each block it passes through.
In other words, C & G use 5 blocks of redstone to the detector, and E uses only 3. Why doesn't E need a repeater?
I really need to understand what's going on here so I understand timing with redstone. Please clue me!
