I have these three entries in my definitions file: vSpl = #(define-music-function (parser location vOne vTwo) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ << { \voiceOne $vOne } \new Voice { \voiceTwo $vTwo } >> \oneVoice #}) vSplDn = #(define-music-function (parser location vTwo vFour) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ << { \voiceTwo $vTwo } \new Voice { \voiceFour $vFour } >> \voiceTwo #}) vSplUp = #(define-music-function (parser location vOne vThree) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ << { \voiceOne $vOne } \new Voice { \voiceThree $vThree } >> \voiceOne #}) Most of the time I use "\vSpl { e'4 } { c4 }" (and I'm just lazy enough to have a macro in LPTool type it out for me and put the cursor inside the first set of braces); occasionally I need them both down or up (sometimes with \override Staff.NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t for a chord or two). Perhaps someone has a more elegant solution?
