Hi Jogchum, the reason for your issues is that you are using voice 2 (i.e. lowest voice) with a \stemUp, which will cause issues to resolve collision. Generally you should avoid using \stemUp and \stemDown unless you really need to use it and rather use the correct Voice.
If you were to use \voiceThree instead (which is the second highest voice) the Lilypond will properly resolve collision: \version "2.24.0" global = { \key c \major \time 3/4 } sopranoVoice = \relative c'' { \global \dynamicUp << \new Voice { \voiceOne r8 a^\p a4. g8 \time 2/4 f g a a } \new Voice { \voiceThree r8 f f4.(e8) d e f f } >> } \score { \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Sopraan" shortInstrumentName = "S." } { \sopranoVoice } \layout { } } But in your case I suppose you do not actually want to have two voices but chords: \version "2.24.0" global = { \key c \major \time 3/4 } sopranoVoice = \relative c'' { \global \dynamicUp << { r8 a^\p a4. g8 \time 2/4 f g a a } { r8 f f4.(e8) d e f f } >> } \score { \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Sopraan" shortInstrumentName = "S." } { \sopranoVoice } \layout { } } Cheers, Valentin Am Montag, 20.
