In the following two-bar snippet, I used \voiceOne and \voiceTwo to place Tenor and Lead vocal lines on a single staff. The Tenor has a tied-over note, whose notehead collides at the beginning of the second bar with the Lead note, one step away. LilyPond places the Lead note inside of the Tenor tie, which I find rather hard to read. I have tried \tieDown, which is a bit better but it has the tie crossing through the Lead stem. It seems that the best layout would have the Tenor note to the left of the Lead note, so that there is no interleaving of Lead note inside the Tenor tie. I cannot find a way to accomplish this with \voiceOne and \voiceTwo, nor have I thought of another layout that would be readable. I would prefer to avoid a change in the voice structure, which would complicate the alignment with lyrics.
