Hi MTB! First of all there are several issues in you posting that you should correct in the future - otherwise we have a much harder time helping you - and remember that we are sitting here for free in our spare time.
1) Always post a FULL (ought to be) working example - complete with includes, \score-statement, paper block, etc. DON'T just send the few lines that are causing problems - very often the problems are caused by somthing far away in you input file - and further more we of course wan't to ensure that our solution to your problem works - which means that we have to insert all this our selves in order to produce a working file. 2) Always state which version of lilypond you use - syntax is changing rapidly, and so are semantics. Well, in your case the problem seems to be that you are changing voices in the middle of it all - and as glissandi are created in voice contexts it is not possible to create a glissando line from one voice to another voice. A solution could be something like \score { \notes \context Staff { \context Voice=VA { \stemUp [cis'''8 b'' a'' gis''] [g'' fis'' e'' dis'' \glissando ] < { \stemDown fis''4 \stemUp g'8 cis''4 \stemDown [e''8 a''] fis''} \context Voice = VB { a1 } > } } } -Rune _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
