Like Tomas, I would very much like to be able to tie notes from two or
more voices, to the single note or chord following (or preceding) those
momentary or temporary voices.


It is possible to do this with the actual code. Karl gave me this trick.

To make two voices look like they are in the same chord, put \stemUp
or \stemDown (depending on the situation) to one of the voices, then
put \stemDown (or \stemUp) to separate them again. The stems of both
voices are perfectly merged, so it looks like a single voice chord.

Here is an example :

\version "2.11.11"

\relative c''
{
        <c e g>2
        <<
        {
                %this note is with the chord
                \stemDown g'2~ |
                %this one is in a separate voice
                \stemUp g2~
                %this one is with the chord again
                \stemDown g2
        } \\
        
        {
                <c, e>2~ |
                <c e>4 <b d>
                <c e>2
        }
        >>
        <c e g>2 %don't need to use \stemUp or \stemDown again, since the voice 
outside
        % the << >> is a different voice than the voices inside.
        % (See Section 6.3.3 - Basic Polyphony, in the User's manual)
}

Maybe not "ethical" but the result is perfect!

Cheers,

Frédéric Chiasson
