Hello Rachel, As others have said before, the Beam syntax is wrong, you need to specify
Note[ note note note] Instead of [note note note note] (the same way as slurs work). The big problem here is that Lilypond by default forbids breaks during Beams, which is normally only relevant when you do have Beaming over Measures. But in your case Lilypond is so confused, that it basically does not know exactly, where the beams are. So it thinks you have a beam going on when you haven’t. Fix the beams and it will work! If everythings works, Lilypond will in fact break this by itself, without you telling it to. Just a remark: You are using \voiceOne and \oneVoice for what I assume to be different hands. This is not good, as \oneVoice will change it’s behaviour depending on the note position, so if you were to change the clef or transpose the piece or something this might change the direction. Instead you can either use \voiceOne/\voiceTwo or \stemUp/\stemDown. Cheers, Valentin
