When I need to write a temporary polyphonic passage my code looks similar
to this:
%%%
\version "2.25.23"
incipit = {c4 4 4 4}
conclusion = {c4 4 4 4}
voiceA = {c4 d e f}
voiceB = {b4 a g f}
\fixed c' \new Staff
{
\incipit %monodic
<<
\new Voice {\voiceOne \voiceB}
\new Voice {\voiceTwo \voiceA}
>>
\conclusion
}
%%%
I just discovered that the lilypond online help propose something different:
<< { \voiceOne … }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo … }
>> \oneVoice
or, using my previous example:
%%%
\version "2.25.23"
incipit = {c4 4 4 4}
conclusion = {c4 4 4 4}
voiceA = {c4 d e f}
voiceB = {b4 a g f}
\fixed c' \new Staff
{
\incipit
<<
{\voiceOne \voiceB}
\new Voice {\voiceTwo \voiceA}
>>
\conclusion
}
%%%
The output is exactly the same but I'm wondering if there are
substantial differences I should be aware of.
Thanks, g.
