I’m trying to re-create John Crook’s original score to Peter Pan (yes, it’s in the public domain) for the Mutopia project, and I’m finding that my lack of musical education is getting in the way.
I’m trying to set “Pipe with the Ostrich”, as visible at <https://books.google.com/books?id=J-wQAAAAYAAJ&pg=PT43>; my current effort is at <https://github.com/jcsalomon/MutopiaProject/blob/peterpan/ftp/CrookJ/PeterPan/PP06_Pipe_with_the_Ostrich/PP06_Pipe_with_the_Ostrich.ly>. While critiques of my Lilypond style are also welcome, my specific question is how best to show what seems to be a voice split across staves. The following example should show what I mean: I’ve set the piece’s first bar twice, the first time as seems logical to me, the second time as it appears in the printed score: \version "2.18.2" \language "english" global = { \key d \major \time 2/4 } upperStaff = \relative c'' { d8. e16 d8 b8 | << { \voiceOne d8. e16 d8 b8 | } \new Voice { \voiceTwo fs4 fs8 fs | } >> } lowerStaff = \relative c { <d a' fs'>4 q8 q | <d a'>4 q8 q | } \score { \context PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" { \clef treble \global \upperStaff } \new Staff = "lower" { \clef bass \global \lowerStaff } >> \layout{ } \midi { } } The “Cross-staff stems” section in the documentation shows a way to draw the chords so they cross the gap, but remain connected. One one hand, this is different from the printed source; on the other hand, this might be better style. On the gripping hand, I can’t see how to apply the sample code to music organized as I’ve been doing it. Could somebody please point me in the right direction? —Joel C.
