Hi Mark, the << \\ >> construct fails in complicated situations quite often. Better use some (perhaps named) \new Voice together with \voiceXxx. \version "2.16.2" global = { \key g \minor \time 2/2 } rightOne = \relative c'' { \global \voiceOne g1~ | g | } rightTwo = \relative c'' { \global \voiceFour < d, f >8 d g, d' f d \voiceThree g,^[ d'] | f4. d8 f4. d8 } rightThree = \relative c'' { \global \voiceTwo s2. g,4~ | g1 } left = \relative c' { \global b,,8 g' d' g, b, g' d' g, | b, g' d' g, b, g' d' g, | } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "right" << \new Voice \rightOne \new Voice \rightTwo \new Voice \rightThree >> \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \left } >> } HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
