Hello: First, I'd like to thank the Lilypond programmers for a great job! I finally finished typesetting two of these Scsarlatti Sonatas, one of which was from the ubiquitous Longo edition. After sitting at keyboard and trying to read both, the Longo edition is no longer good enough. Its almost unreadable and it looks hideous. Lilypond manages in three pages of easiyl readable score to do what the Longo Edition makes almost unreadable in 4 pages. Thanks again.
Now my problem, the following lines have one tied note, the "a" in the Right Hand upper voice is tied to an "a" in the next bar. The only problem I can see for Lilypond is that its at that point which the bars of two voices merge to become one voice again. I've tried tweaking it in various ways i.e. coding both bars on the same like, coding the merged voice immediately following the lower voice, nothing seems to work. ------- Code Snip ----------------- \version "2.11.27" \include "english.ly" upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key e \major \time 3/4 \mark "Allegro" cs8[bs cs ds e fs ] | % bar 61 e[ gs \grace fs16 e8 ds cs b ] \bar "||" % bar 62 \key eflat \major bf8[cf' bf af g f ] | % bar 63 g8[ bf \grace af16 g8 f ef d ] | % bar 64 ef[d ef f g af ] | % bar 65 g[ bf \grace af16 g8 f ef df ] | % bar 66 << { \grace bf16 \stemUp cf2 af'4~ | } \\ { \stemDown cf,2. | } % bar 67,68 >> \stemUp af'8 \stemDown af[ gf f bf af ] | gf[bf \grace af16 gf8 f ef df ] | % bar 69 lower = \relative c { \clef bass \key e \major \time 3/4 cs8[bs cs ds e fs ] | % bar 61 e[ gs \grace fs16 e8 ds cs b ] \bar "||" % bar 62 \key eflat \major bf8[cf' bf af g f ] | % bar 63 g8[ bf \grace af16 g8 f ef d ] | % bar 64 ef[d ef f g af ] | % bar 65 g[ bf \grace af16 g8 f ef df ] | % bar 66 r8 af'8[f d cf af ] | % bar 67 bf,,2. | % bar 68 ef4 r4 r | % bar 69 r8 af''8[f d cf af ] \bar "||" % bar 70 } \score { \new PianoStaff << \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano " \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> \layout { } \midi { } } ------------ End Code Snip ----------- Thanks for your help.
