I've attached a small PNG file to illustrate something similar to my situation.
Here is the source for it:
\notes { \time 3/4 << <f' g'>4 \\ b4 >> <g' e' c' g>2 }What I want to do is, keeping the stem layout in the example, tie the top G between the chords. I know the answer for creating ties into/out of chords is to use multiple voices, and I've done that successfully in all other cases I've encountered. But this situation raises the problem of notehead placement for the F and G. I'm assuming I'll need to manually shift the G to the right and hide its stem. I think I can do this given enough time in the manual/regression tests/list archives and some trial and error. Before I do that, I'd like guidance. Is it the best way? If I shift the G, will I have to manually tweak the start point of the tie, too? Breaking the second chord causes a few problems, too. I'm assuming I need to use two voices - g'2 and \stemUp <e' c' g>2. This causes stem clashes and lilypond complains. Is this the best way? Finally, something not in the example is the second chord in my real piece is a dotted half. Doing \stemUp on notes that originally had stems down leaves the dots in stems-down position. Is there an easy way to shift the dots up I'm missing, or do I need to just manually move their position? I'm not necessarily asking for someone to give me the code to do this, but I am seeking guidance or reassurance that I'm on the right track from those of you with much more experience. Thanks!
