Hi,
after finally having succeeded in compiling v.2.4.6 from the sources on my
box, I have eagerly started playing with Lilypond, and I am quite
impressed.
One of the things I have tried to find out concerns the notation of
alternating stem orientation if one voice is distributed on both staffs
of a piano score. I didn't find an example for my problem in the example
collection or on Mutopia, so I'd be grateful for some help.
This works as expected (except for the odd extra bar at the end):
u = { \change Staff = upper \stemDown }
l = { \change Staff = lower \stemUp }
i = \context Staff { \context Voice = "i" \voiceOne
\clef bass \key bes \major \time 2/4
\relative { \u bes,16 \l bes \u bes \l bes \u bes \l bes \u bes \l bes }}
ii = \context Staff { \context Voice = "ii" \voiceTwo
{ \clef bass \key bes \major \time 2/4 } s1 }
\score { \context PianoStaff <<
\context Staff = "upper" << \i >>
\context Staff = "lower" << \ii >> >>
\layout { \context { \Score
\override SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #3 } }
However, if I want to set a chord instead of a single note, I get errors;
a line like this
\relative { \u { <bes,16 f> } \l bes \u bes \l { <bes bes,> } \u { <bes
f> } \l bes \u { <e fis> } \l bes }
results in Lilypond complaining:
error: syntax error, unexpected UNSIGNED, expecting DRUM_PITCH or
NOTENAME_PITCH or '>':
\relative { \u { <bes,1
6 f> } \l bes \u bes \l { <bes bes,> } \u { <bes
f> } \l bes \u { <e fis> } \l bes }
I have tried a couple of variations in placement etc., but the error
remains in principle as shown here. Why does that happen, and what can I
do? What is the orthodox way to typeset this?
Thanks for any help,
Thomas
