That did the trick. There is another similar question ( Nov. 2001) on the list with a similar question so you get 2 kudos with one response.
The 'manual' does not explain this well - then again I am relatively new (been at LilyPond for less than 3 weeks) so I'm not used to the nuances in the documentation. I've been using the online manual and tutorial, as well as mutopia to 'learn by example'. There is a lot of theory behind this that I'm not familiar with - won't be until I get Linux up again, stuff like moving grobs manually to avoid collisions the system gave up on (probably my fault). I note some of the mutopia examples I've referred to use a lot of deprecated syntax.. However I do recall the online (static) manual mentions 'simultaneous' and {} as shorthand. One thing I'm interested in - has anyone thought of using XML as a neutral definition language in front of LilyPond? Potentially more verbose, but there are potential benefits as well. (Probably will start this as a separate thread if I get any takers on this question.)
