I think you are misinterpreting the original music. The original music has two downstemmed notes (b natural sixteenth plus b natural eighth) at the same time as one upstemmed note (b dotted eighth). To get the output in the image, just do this: \version "2.20.0" \language "english" \layout { \autoBeamOff } global = { \key ef \major \time 4/4 } melody = { \relative { \global << { \voiceOne b'8. } \new Voice { \voiceTwo b16 b8 } >> \oneVoice a8 b8 c4 r8 d8 } } \score { \new Staff { \melody } } HOpe this helps, Carl
