Hello Riccardo, That is a common stumbling for lilypond users. In your case you have to avoid the construct << \\ >> and explicitly create a voice context. See "Explicitly Instantiating Voices" in the manual. Anyway, this should make you score work: nogood = \relative do'' { << \new Voice = nogood { \voiceTwo do2 re8 mi8 fa8 sol8 } { \voiceOne mi2 fa8 sol8 la8 si8 } >> \oneVoice | << \context Voice = nogood { \voiceTwo do1 } { \voiceOne sol1} >> \oneVoice }
