How about using \laissezVibrez and \repeatTie tosplit to tie as in the attached output? That's honestly what I would expect to see as a keyboard player.

I am updating an old manuscript and it has a tied note (an f) across a clef change. In LilyPond, it needs to be a tie (see slur-as-tie-across-clefs.png, attached.) I don't like it, so I thought I'd move the clef change inside the measure (see clef-in-middle-of-measure.png) but I'm not sure it's less confusing than the original. I was hoping to get some keyboardist's opinions about the two approaches. Below is a MWE of the clef-in-the-middle approach in case someone wants to fool around with it. Thanks for any feedback. %%% Start \version "2.24.4" \language "english" leftHandUpper = \relative { \voiceThree bf4( c2 d4~ | d4 ef2 f4~ | f4 \clef treble g2 a4~ | a4 bf2 c4) | } leftHandLower = \relative { \voiceTwo ef2( f | g2 a | bf2 \clef treble c | d2 ef) | } \new Staff { \clef bass \key ef \major << \new Voice \leftHandUpper \new Voice \leftHandLower >> } %%% End -- Knute Snortum
