I'm typesetting some complex polyphonic music, and have 3 Voices sharing the same Staff. In the middle of the bar, the top two Voices share the same rhythm, so I'd like to combine stems beams on them just for 2 beats, and have them be treated independently again afterwards. There is a 3rd Voice on the same Staff with downward Beams, so without combining, the top two Voices would have hard-to-read clashing beams.
Is there a way to do this without using \partcombine? I realize that it's probably possible to rewrite this with \partcombine, but it seems to be overkill for just 2 beats. I could probably also spell out the combined chords directly in one of the Voices, but if at all possible I'd like to represent it as separate Voices. T -- A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, yeah." _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
