Many thanks to the lilypond-user group for their advice on measure #47 of the Chopin Nocturne #3 (Op 9 No 3). Urs' article on voices was particularly helpful.
My next challenge appeared in measure #69. This is working for me : \version "2.16.0" \relative c' { \clef treble \time 6/8 \key b \major ais'4.\p \once \override Slur #'stencil = ##f \appoggiatura {b8[\( ais gisis ais]} << {dis4 b8} \new Voice {\stemUp \once \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##f \once \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f \times 1/2 {dis8 \teeny d cis c} \normalsize b8} >> \oneVoice ais4 gis8\) } At first I assumed that both tuplets were appoggiatura, but I couldn't get that to work. I also tried cue notes, but merging the head of a cue note with a full-size note head was no good either. So my final version (above) treats the first tuplet as an appoggiatura, but the second is a new voice in a smaller font. I'm delighted with the results. But I do wonder if anyone in the group thinks I may have missed a better approach? --John K
