Hi,
Yes, thanks, that helped.
However, my structure is not as regular. The piece has bars without polyphony,
some bars with polyphony in the left, and some in the right hand.
In the end I came up with a solution using "\context"
\version "2.24.3"
\header {
title = "Piece of Test"
}
global = {
\time 3/4
\key a \minor
}
\parallelMusic right, left {
gis'8. a'16 c''4. a'8 |
<<
{
\voiceOne
r4 <e c'>4 <e c'>4
}
\new Voice {
\voiceTwo
a,2.
}
>>|
a'2.|
a,,2. |
<<
{
\voiceOne
<gis d'>2 <a c'>4~
}
\context Voice = "voiceTwo"{
\voiceTwo
e2.~
}
>> |
r4 \grace ais,16 b,4 r4 |
<<
{
\voiceOne
<a c'>2 r4
}
\context Voice = "voiceTwo" {
\voiceTwo
e2 r4
}
>> |
\grace gis,16 <a, a,,>4 r4 r4|
\bar "|."
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = "Piano" }
<<
\new Staff {
\global
\right
}
\new Staff {
\global
\clef bass
\left
}
>>
\layout {}
}
