I knew this, really I did! I was just making things harder for myself than I should have. The voice label suggestion you gave me is good advice, and in future projects I know it will be important for me to remember. To satisfy Dave's curiosity - yes, I did leave out a quite a bit of information. I tried to show graphically what I had in mind with a bare bones example. In reality, this is part of piano accompaniment for voice. The F in my simple example (and the A-flat in this new one) really is part of the lower "voice", but for piano makes more sense sharing a stem with the note a whole step above. I hope that explains it, and for completeness, here how my finished (well, almost finished - I think I'll tinker with that slur a bit) 2 measures look. I've attached a small PNG file and here is part of the code (with english.ly and no relative): << {eflat''8([ d'' c'' bflat'] <bflat' aflat'>4~ <bflat' g' eflat' bflat>2.) } \\ {<g' eflat'>4 <g' d'> d' s2. }>> Thank you for your help and bonk on my head.
