Time allowing... I managed to take another look at the documentation. Will have to run additional tests and that may not be possible before the weekend but in order to make lilypond do what I want in terms of stem-connection for those (few) instances of cross-staff stems in this particular score it looks as if I am going to have to define two voices, right? From reading the documentation I understand that the purpose of defining two (or more) voices is to allow users to make lilypond engrave concurrent notes of different durations (as opposed to chords) but in this particular case there doesn't seem to be any other way to cause lilypond to do what I need. And by the way, regarding chords... One example I looked at when I got started on this used double "<< >>" brackets to represent chords whereas the official lilypond documentation recommends using single "< >" brackets. How are they different in terms of lilypond's behaviour? Reason I am asking is that while I was tidying up my code a bit I tried to "blindly" replace my double brackets by single brackets at one point and got some peculiar results in terms of interpreting relative notation. Thought it was rather silly anyway to expect a blind search/replace with no understanding of the implications to do the right thing so I just backed out my changes and didn't think it worth investigating further. Anything I should be aware of that I may have missed? If irrelevant, please ignore. Thanks, CJ
