third or fourth voice - Lilypond treats odd voices as voice with stem and other properties going upwards! so in my code I handle the additional voice as \voiceFour and also name it like that: \version "2.14.2" \include "english.ly" global = { \key d \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 \autoBeamOff } rightOne = \relative c'' { \voiceOne \global % -- t1-87 s4 fs8[ e8] e4. d8 | } rightTwo = \relative c''{ \voiceTwo % -- t2-87 s2 a8 a16 a a8 a | } rightFour = \relative c' { \voiceFour % -- t2-87 <a' cs g'>4 4 d4 cs4 | } leftOne = \relative c' { % -- b1-87 e4 a,2 e'4 | } leftTwo = \relative c { % -- b2-87 e4 d8[ d8] a'2 | } pianoPart = \new PianoStaff \with { } << \new Staff = "right" << \rightOne \\ \rightTwo \\ \rightFour >> \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass << \leftOne \\ \leftTwo >> } >> \score { << \pianoPart >> } I would consider upgrading to the newest version!
