Thanks Andrew - a bit late as you say, and I've already adapted Christian's solution. But it's probably the best one. Best regards, Peter mailto:lilyp...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com - Wednesday, February 17, 2021, 7:35:06 AM, you wrote: > Chiming in somewhat late. Here is

Chiming in somewhat late. Here is what I typically write. The sort of New Complexity music I engrave, I am forever setting stems up and down manually, so perhaps this is not a 'normal' or 'proper' style, but it works well and quick to do. The virtue of this setting is no messing around with hidden

Thanks (I've already replied to your second version). Unfortunately you're wrong about the doubled stem: the next note is the bass octave E again. Odd part-writing, but as I said, I didn't write it. It might be a publisher's house style or just a typo which never got corrected (there are some of

Thanks again. And don't worry about the double post :) I'd not really looked at partCombine as the description in the manuals refers to genuinely polyphonic music, which this sort of piano writing definitely isn't. But it seems to work. Now to work out how to continue this for the next few bars

If you excuse the second double post in one thread - I really should think before writing - this solution seems even better. It's a little fizzle work to get the \voice commands right, but it works and is far easier to read than my previous solution. Plus, it allows good continuation of the two voi

Dear Peter, I fear, this one was easy to miss, given the screenshot you sent us. ;) It looks like you can put the part we had till now into a lowerVoice variable, with the newly introduced upper voice into another and then partCombine does a pretty good job. I don't know if this is a dirty hack t

Christian, Thanks very much. Why didn't I think of using the lower voice for the rest? Best regards, Peter mailto:lilyp...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com - Monday, February 15, 2021, 4:01:00 PM, Christian Masser wrote: Edit: I forgot the \hide Stem command , but it also works

Hi Peter! It seems that the invisible e you add for the ending of the bow is drawn as a note facing the left side (you can unhide it) which explains the right-shift of the e2. If you rearrange it to: << \relative { b,4.~( 8 c e 4. 4 b,8 | 2. s2. } \\ \relative {

I'm trying to set this piece of slightly strange voice writing (see attachment). It obviously needs three voices: one for the lower line (voice 2), one for the upper line (voice 1) and a third for the rest at the end. The closest I've got is below, but this has two problems with the final beat:
