Hi David,
I was wondering if anyone had a clue as to how to get the eighth rest in
voice three to be shown above the half note in voice four?
Yes: use Lilypond’s automatic voicing:
\new PianoStaff
\new Staff = upper
\new Voice = first { \voiceOne
Hi David,
I had intended to use the automatic voicing, but somehow got the syntax
wrong.
Nor did I realize that for voices 3 and 4, you use \voiceOne and \voiceTwo.
That’s not exactly the way I would put it…
What you call “voices 3 and 4” are actually voices 1 and 2 **in the lower
Hi all,
Just for the benefit of anyone reading this thread after the fact…
you can specify a placement for the rest by indicating a note\rest. in this
case i used g8\rest
While that is technically true, we should be encouraging the proper use of the
\voiceX commands, which (as I’ve shown)
you can specify a placement for the rest by indicating a note\rest. in this
case i used g8\rest
hope that helps

\include english.ly
pianoVoiceOne = \relative c' { fs b d2 f c' }
pianoVoiceTwo = \relative c' { s1 }
pianoVoiceThree = \relative c' { \stemDown g8\rest a fs [ d ]
