Hello,
like Phil already wrote, ties can't change voices. The << ... \\ ... >>
construct creates two new voices. If you have << { ... } \new Voice {
... } >> the first part continues the current voice and you can tie notes:
{ <d a'>2 ~ <cis a'> ~ << { \voiceTwo \stemDown <d a'> } \new Voice {
\voiceOne \stemUp {d'4 cis} } >>}
This can be useful, If there are lyrics to bind (or ties) and only a
small number of "second-voice" notes. But IMHO Phils solution is more
readable in most cases - this is just a suggestion to look at lilys
internals.
ADD: you can use \tieDown or \tieUp to control direction of ties.
Regards,
Jan-Peter

Hi all,
In the following construction:
<d a'>2 ~<cis a'> ~ {<< \stemDown<d a'> \\ \stemUp {d'4 cis}>>}
the second "tilde" seems to have no effect. I want to tie the 'a' in
the second chord to the 'a' in the third chord in the parallel bar.
Am I missing something? How do I tie such a thing through this
construction? Everything else about this line seems to work properly.
Thanks,
Gordon+
