Ok Neil's second suggestion "voices" worked but I don't understand why it works and why \\ should be avoided (or why to avoid \\ when it's all over the documentation as the way to do polyphony ) and why the original way I tried it is not the way it can work?

I usually avoid the <<\\>> construct. Try it with <<{}\new Voice {\voiceTwo}>> like so: <<{b8 cis d4-.\> cis-.}\new Voice {\voiceTwo .... }>> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
