Please excuse my ignorance: I am still at the very beginning with Lilypond. Perhaps someone can help with these two questions:
1. How can you produce a note with two stems, one running up and the other running down obviuosly?. \stemBoth does not seem to do the job. I have looked through the manuals and I have been unable to find the solution. I guess it must be fairly easy. 2. The following code produce the desired slur (see enclosed file visible-slur.pdf) between the d in the first bar and the chord in the second. \include "paper23.ly" \paper { linewidth = 455.244096\pt } \version "2.0.1" \score { \notes \new Staff { \time 3/4 \clef bass \relative c { % a2( d4) \simultaneous { { s4 \phrasingSlurUp d2\( } \\ { \stemBoth g,4 r4 \stemDown d_5 }} \stemUp < d' g, >4\)_2 \stemDown g8_1( f! e d) } } \paper { } } However, if I un-comment the line %a2( d4) just below \relative c, thus introducing a new bar at the beginning, the slur disappears (see enclosed file vanishing-slur.pdf) and the log file says: Interpreting music.. /cygdrive/g/Lilypond/question.ly:24:19: warning: can't find start of phrasing slur: \stemUp < d' g, >4\ )_2 \stemDown g8_1( f! e d) /cygdrive/g/Lilypond/question.ly:22:40: warning: unterminated phrasing slur: \simultaneous { { s4 \phrasingSlurUp d2\ ( } \\ { \stemBoth g,4 r4 \stemDown d_5 }} Can anybody give me an explanation ?. I have found that the work around is to include the last two bars in the same piece of simutaneous code: \simultaneous { { s4 \phrasingSlurUp d2\( \stemUp d4\) s2 } \\ { \stemBoth g,4 r4 \stemDown d_5 \stemUp g4_2 \stemDown \slurUp \once \property Voice.Slur \set #'attachment = #'(head . head) g'8_1( f! e d)} } but I would like to understand why it is happening. 3. I would also be very grateful for a short tutorial on how to control slurs, specially tweaking with offsets at the tips. Thanks in advance for any help. Alfredo Navarro
