How about: tenor = \relative d' { \override NoteHead.color = #red \override Stem.color = #red \override Beam.color = #red \override Rest.color = #red \change Staff = "up" \voiceFour d8 e f d a'4 r8 d, | bes'4 r8 d, a'4 \tweak staff-position -4 \tweak X-offset #1 r16 g f e | d e f d } In general, I tend to trust Lilypond’s \voiceX commands and tweak anything that doesn’t work as hoped/expected, rather than manually overriding stem and tie directions and so on. (Obviously, when the tenor returns to the lower staff, you’d want to issue a \voiceOne command!) Hope that helps, Kieren. ______________________________________________ My work day may look different than your work day.
