Gentlemen,
While using \voice 4 does replace my incorrect use of \stemDown, it does not locate the note head properly. To do this a column shift is necessary. This code is a combination of your suggestions. \voices 1, 2, 4 <<{c'2~ c8. dis16 e8. c16 | b2~ b8. dis16 e8. b16 | a2~ a8. b16 c8. a16}\\ {e2 fis | dis e | cis dis}\\ { \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1 b'8. b16 a8. gis16 a2~ | a8. a16 g8. fis16 g2~ | g8. g16 fis8. e16 fis2}>> Thank you again for your kind attention to my request. Mark
