I am making a huge piano in my SP creative world. The tripwires I am using keep breaking. Here is a picture:
I haven't yet started to place the top strings, so I have two questions: 1, why do the strings on the bottom keep breaking? And 2, will tripwires break if the strings are in midair?
The strings in the air wont break. As for the ones on the bottom, I think it's because the wire (and the hooks) have multiple types of blocks below them. You should only have to change the glass to something solid, like stone, and everything should work better.

I like to do redstone builds on my channel, and I can probably help you with your in game troubles.

1. The bottom tripwire seems to be breaking because of the glass blocks below the tripwire hook. Tripwires will not function properly on most non-solid blocks.
2. Tripwires in midair should function as intended.
well, crud, because I have rfedstone under that. Will putting NO block instead of glass work?
Unfortunately, no. It has to be either all solid, all transparent, or all air. You could use a repeater to bring down the redstone signal from above, essentially going "through" the floor. Pic, because I'm bad at explaining things:
For the purposes of what will break tripwire, the following "transparent" blocks are treated as solid/opaque blocks and thus can be combined with them: upside-down slabs, upside-down stairs, hoppers, or blocks of redstone (i.e., anything you can lay redstone dust on, except glowstone).
So, for instance, you could replace the glass with an upside-down slab and the tripwire won't break, and the redstone will pass under it like glass.

I haven't seen it mentioned here, so I guess Ill give my $0.02. Tripwires must be above the same type of block. Either the entire wire(including the hook) must be above solid blocks, or the wire & hook must be above transparent blocks(Glass, Glowstone, stairs, slabs, etc).

THANK YOU
You can't mix-and-match the two.
