Hi, I'm a new user of Lilypond, with quite a bit of experience with Score (some professional).
I am having problems placing a tie between two bars, the 1st of which contains a whole note, and the second 4 quarter notes (all the same note, obviously.
There is no problem with this in simple form as it would be:
{ c1~ c4 c c c}
I run into problems when I put a hairpin crescendo/decrescendo in the whole note bar. The only way I can do this is to use spacer notes to lock the hairpins to, added as a second voice on the same staff. i.e
{<<c1~ \\ {s4 s4\< s4\! \> s4\!}>> c4 c c c}
This renders the 2 bars correctly, except that the tie does not print.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Graeme

The reason why Lilypond is not behaving as expected is, when you use <<>> Lily creates a new voice (by the way, why are you using "\\"?). The solution is to include the note to tie in the <<>> construct as well:
\score { \new Staff { \relative c' { << { c1 ~ c4 } { s4 s4\< s4\! \> s4\! s4 } >> c4 c c } } }
