Hi Aaron, Thank you for looking into this. As mentioned in my original post, I am not using a Dynamics context as this New Complexity score is very, very complex rhythmically, and it would tale a month to go back and figure out all the spacer rests to use a dynamics context. I'd rather not do

Hi Aaron, Thanks you. But the hairpins in question in my code all end on dynamics such as p or f, and were working fine up until a couple of days ago. I can't see what has changed, except the quartey score is now 110 pages. I am very sorry I cannot stimulate this in a small MWE. I am using

And since we're talking about temporary polyphonic contexts (TPC) there are a few other things, like lyrics, that don't work in to and out of them. Mostly multi-note events like slurs, crescendos, etc. You cannot start them outside a TPC and conclude them inside one, or start them inside a TPC and

Slight amendation of Mark's suggestion. Since you're doing a vocal composition, to keep lyrics applied into this temporary poloyphonic context, use this syntax: << { \voiceOne } \\ \new Voice { \voiceTwo { } } >> \oneVoice Lyrics set to the voice will carry into the temporary polyphonic

I'm setting a fairly short song. It's sixteen measures, in the standard four voice parts. I used Frescobaldi to set up the basic structure, so the syntax I'm using comes from modifying what it put out. What causes the grief is that the last measure in the soprano part is polyphonic (or
