Re: Tie between staves of a PianoStaff
Thanks for your contributions. They inspired me to an easy bypass: ties may not
work between staves, but slurs do, and the difference is not really
conspicuous. Result attached.

I'd agree with Knute: you have to bite the bullet and learn \shape.
But in the old stackexchange post, I'd be tempted to make the tie
unambiguous. The result is not publishable, but I don't think it
leaves room for doubt, even with no extra work, and it's \break-
able at either barline. (I'm assuming the lower e /is/ restruck
in measure two.)
Cheers,
David.

Tie between staves of a PianoStaff
Is there a simple solution for putting a tie between staves of a pianostaff? I need to tie a note of the lower voice on the upper staff to a note of the upper voice on the lower staff. I found this on StackExchange: https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/74383/lilypond-ties-across-staves but it's five years old and seems rather difficult to implement. I use version 2.24.2 on Debian.
How to put a big number in the upper left or right corner of a score?
(Lilypond version 2.24.1, Guile 2.2). What is the easiest way to put a big number (e.g. font size 4 bold) in the upper left or right corner of a score? In previous versions I used to manage this with a double header, one in \book and one in \score, and faking a second "poet" (left corner) or "composer" (right corner), but this does not seem to work any more, at least not the way it used to. Moreover it isn't a very "clean" solution. Something like a regular (but huge) page number would be better.

Clashing note columns
I am typesetting a choral piece wich has two voices coming in unisono on a
single staff, one with a whole note (g1), the other with two half notes (g2
g2). The whole note and the first half note clash at the start of the
measure. I tried to avoid the clash with the remedies given in the Lilypond
manual:
1) \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #2.7 g1
to shift the whole note to the right in the measure; no effect. And
2) in the lyrics:
{ al -- le -- lu -- \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
ia } (from Lilypond Snippets Lyrics alignment)
No effect either, probably because the syllable "ia" is too short. How can
I solve this?
Using Lilypond version 2.14.1 on Arch Linux.

Lyrics and repeats
I'm transcribing Six old Dutch Songs for choir and reed organ (harmonium), one of which has a repeat section with different lyrics and alternative endings (using LP 2.12.1 on Ubuntu 9.04.). For the voltas (1 measure ending) I used the procedure outlined on page 99 of the current notation reference (for LP 2.12.2), with a \partial 4*3 in the first \alternative. However an erroneous bar appears after the first beat of the second volta, as if it were a continuation of volta 1. Other problems with it that I can't solve: - how to get the (final) lyrics repeated there? - how to get the slurs extended into it? - how to delete it from the midi output (or get the repeat working in midi)? and how to print the piece of text that is identical in both repeats only once. The Lilypond notation reference has a very brief section on page 190, titled "Lyrics and repeats: TBC". :-( The troubled piece is on http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Duyse.php (nr. 3, "Het was er te nacht"). One more strange thing: in the first section a single syllable is placed under beamed notes, without the need for a slur. In the repeated section however, I have to put slurs over the beamed notes to get the lyrics placed correctly. What could be the cause?
