I doubt this is what you want to do.  You  are putting notes in  
parallel

contexts (different voices) rather than in chords.

It's much more likely that you want

 Guitar = \relative c'
   {
  < e1 g d' g >
  < e g d' fis >
  < ees g des' fis >
  < ees g des' f >2 < ees g des' e >
   }

HTH,

Although, as previously noted, durations inside a chord will fail, so  
the first chord would have to be 1

Hi Dan,

Notice how the stems in the fourth measure are disconnected and  
opposite.

Anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it?


You are not correctly coding single-staff polyphony — I suggest you  
(re?)read the appropriate documentation sections, starting with



Hint: << ... >> is not used for chords.

Hope this helps!

Well, I don't know why, but how to avoid it: you can use multiple voices. One 
of them gets \voiceOne, so the stems go up no matter what pitch, the other 
gets \voiceTwo, thus making the stems go down.

Disconnected and oddly placed stems

[Dan Florio]

Here are the first few measures of a guitar part in a tune I'm working on:

(Each line represents a measure)

\version "2.12.2"

\header
 {
title = "Percussion Song"
composer = "Dan Florio"
 }

Guitar = \relative c'
 {
<< e1 g d' g >>
<< e, g d' fis >>
<< ees, g des' fis >>
<< ees,2 g des' f >> << ees, g des' e >>
 }

\score
 {
<<
\new Staff = "Guitar" { \Guitar }
>>

\midi { \context { \Score tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 
275 4) } }

\layout { }
 }

I've attached the pdf of that specific part.  Notice how the stems in 
the fourth measure are disconnected and opposite.  Anyone know why this 
is happening, and how I can fix it?
