Re: voice sharing the same note on different staves

2010-11-06 Thread Ken
Thanks!   I had given up since my permutations did not work the first time,
but since you so succintly repeated it, I thought I might have missed
something so I went back and tried it again.

Yes, \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn works as you've described.  The trick is you
do need the \change Staff and a \stemUp or Down depending.  The note heads
don't merge on different staves.  Obviously...

 Hi,

 I'm writing a 3-part piece for the piano.  3 voices.  In one measure, I
 have the second and third (voiceFour in lliypond because the stems are down)
 share the same note.  The second voice is a 16th note while the third voice
 is a dotted quarter.  I'd like to have the note in the bass stave and have 2
 stems, one up and one down.  The up one is beamed with the rest of the notes
 of the second voice.  How do I do this?

 Use \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn and \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn. Look up
 collision resolution in s.1.5.2 of the notation reference.

It might be argued on that grounds that German note names should be
canonical: I know of no other note name language that has been employed
similarly for silly acronyms and word games.

Well, almost.  When writing ut queant laxis

would be more appropriate.  Oh, we don't have them.  The Italian note
names use do rather than ut.  I have a Swiss accordion score from
1933 here, and it uses ut throughout.  Maybe it's just Swiss French,

There are solfeges using ti instead, I believe.

True. e.g.: W.H. Swinburne: The New Curwen Method, or Edwin E. Gordon

I don't know about Swiss French, but here in France we rarely use ut
at all; it is merely used by snobbish people when referring to a

say Do Majeur).

Interesting, because it is not snobbish at all to say
quatre-vent-dix-neuf which other French-speaking nations have replaced
by nonante-neuf long ago.

In English, one would be considered snobbish when starting a sentence
with, say, Four score and seven, let alone Four score and nineteen.

In contrast, ut rather than do appears harmless.

To a foreigner, that is.

Doh.

This comes to my mind:

Granted, they're only vowels and even ut for 'v'.

:-S

the original example posted by Ken is strictly incorrect and still  
contains syntax errors though, but never mind. sorry for my confusion. I'm  
used to the default note names in dutch and my internal parser warns me  
when it reads strange constructs like {bf} or {ef,16}

:)

here's my suggestion then:

\version 2.12.3

\include english.ly

\new PianoStaff 
  \new Staff = up 
\clef treble
\key a \minor
\time 3/8

\new Voice {\voiceOne \relative c'' { g16 a bf f' bf, c } }
\new Voice {
\voiceTwo \relative c'
{
\change Staff = down \stemUp ef,16 f  g a g a
}
}
  
  \new Staff = down {
\clef bass
\key a \minor
\time 3/8

\new Voice {
   \voiceFour \relative c {
  \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn
  \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn

Thanks for the prompt reply.  Btw, I tried various permutations of your

\noBeam
Note heads merged correctly.  Stems all correct.  Except for the no beam.
