Hi! I've been too busy to read this list for a while, but now I've got a question.
I'm copying Johan Halvorsen's Veslemøy (for male choir, with lyrics by Arne Garborg), and in the original I have the following bar:

The divided basses here aren't easy. Now, I've managed to get the music printed in a way where the first chord doesn't completely overlap, using three voices:
<<inline: Veslemoy-example.preview.png>>
But two questions remain: - Is there a (reliable) way of stacking the notes in the first chord exactly as in the original? (I've played around with \voiceThree etc and \shiftOnn, not quite getting it. Is extra-offset my only hope here?) - Is there a way to print the vertical brackets exactly as in the original? (I've tried \arpeggioBracket and \arpeggio, but as it seems I need extra voices here, and as I'm in one staff only, I don't get a good result when I get one at all. This may have to do with using an arpeggio command to express something quite different from an arpeggio. I may be doing something wrong, though. Is there a good way, or do I need to turn to \postscript?) Alternatively, can any of you think of a better way to convey the same musical meaning (including which basses should sing which part when the bass voices are subdivided)? Here's the source so far:
\version "2.12.1" \new Staff \with { \remove Time_signature_engraver \remove Clef_engraver } << \clef bass \set Score.autoBeaming = ##f \new Voice \relative c { \dynamicUp \phrasingSlurUp \slurUp \override TextScript #'direction = #1 \override RepeatTie #'direction = #1 \voiceOne << { e8[(-\markup\right-align "div." d'!]) d c b4 } { s4 e,8 e e4 } \new Voice { \voiceFour <e>4 } >> g8[( bes]) | } \new Voice \relative c { \dynamicDown \phrasingSlurDown \override TextScript #'direction = #-1 \override RepeatTie #'direction = #-1 \voiceTwo \override BreathingSign #'text = \markup { \line { \musicglyph #"scripts.caesura.curved" \translate #'(-1.75 . 1.6) \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" } } << \new Voice { \voiceThree <b>8 [ \voiceOne d!] } { \voiceTwo <e,>4\< } >> \voiceTwo <e d'>8\! <e c'>\> <e b'>4\! \breathe e'8[(\p\< d])\! | } >>
