Greetings!
I've always struggled with multiple voice and getting things to align
correctly. I assume there's some basic truth I'm missing.
I'm attempting to transcribe an organ chorale and have run into a
problem with these three bars:
I have tried all sorts of combination of \Voice and \StemDown and
\ShiftOff and whatnot, and I just can't get it to look right.
In my MWE (below), everything is in the right horizontal /position/, but
if I flip the stems of the bottom voice down, the notes shift left. I'm
sure this is by design, but I can't figure out how to change the behaviour.
Maybe it's the \voiceThree bit that makes it not work, but it looks
worse without it.
\version "2.25.11"
\language "deutsch"
global = {
\key c \major
\time 4/4
}
rightOne = \relative c'' {
\global c8 d e fis g d e fis | g d g4. f16 e d8 f~| f e16 d e8 r r2 |
}
rightTwo = \relative c'' {
\global g4. a8 h4 c | h4. h8 a4. g8 | c2 r2 |
}
leftOne = \relative c' {
\global \voiceOne e4 r d c | d2 c4 d | g, f'\rest r2 |
}
leftTwo = \relative c {
\global << { \voiceTwo c4 c' h a | h g a h | \shiftOn c a8\rest c h a
h g }
\new Voice { \voiceThree
% \stemDown here moves the notes left
c,2 h4 a | h g a h | \stemDown c2 g\rest } >>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "right" << \rightOne \\ \rightTwo >>
\new Staff = "left" { \clef bass << \leftOne \\ \leftTwo >> }
>>
}
Can anyone help? (And apart from the stems, how do I shift things into
position for the chord on the first beat af the third measure /without/
the stems of the upper and lower parts combining?)
Best wishes,
Jakob
