I think it's not good. In particular the dots are confusing: are both cs dotted? It's hard to say from that example. > I am asking because an older > music sheet shows a situation similar to c2. and c2 as separate notes. > > slightly expanded example: > > \relative c' << f2. \\ << c2. { c2( g4) } >> >> > > The f2. should be Soprano, and the c2.

I'd write voices explicitely (i.e. not using << { } \\ { } >>) and everything should be clear: \new Staff << \new Voice { \voiceOne f'2. } \new Voice { \voiceTwo c'2. } \new Voice { \voiceFour c'2 ( g4 ) } >> I'd also consider writing this in the following manner: \new Staff << \new Voice { \voiceOne f'2. } \new Voice { \voiceFour c'2~ ( <c' g>4 ) } >> Hope this helps, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
