So, I'm trying out voices for the first time, switching a piece I had
written using chords for single staff polyphony to using voices. In the
process I have run into a couple of things I don't understand:
1) Some notes that don't collide (to my eye), are getting shifted as if
they did. When the same pair of notes are set as a chord, there is no
shift. Clearly there's a difference between what lilypond considers a
collision between notes in separate voices and within a chord. Can some
one explain that to me?
2) When simultaneous notes from separate voices have the same
articulation, the articulation is printed twice (once for each note).
Obviously, this is desirable behavior if the notes are articulated
differently, but is there some way for simultaneous identical
articulations to be printed only once? The identical articulations tend
to make the notes look crowded.
Below is a snippet which creates two staffs showing examples of my
confusions: the first is my test using voices, the second is the same
music typeset using chords.
