I'm afraid it's impossible to tie notes between voices. From your example I think you want something like this:
<e, b' d>8.-> << {\voiceOne <e a c>16~ c'4~ c4.} \new Voice {\voiceTwo \stemUp <e, a>4*1/4~ \stemDown <e a>8 <e a>8~ <e a>8. <e a>16 r8} >> \oneVoice d32( c32 bf32 a32 | bf2->)~ I've made the <e, a> in voice Two a crochet to avoid hiding the flag. I think the r8 is probably part of voice Two to match the dotted crochet in the top voice. Taking it out shouldn't change anything though.

I've come across a bar where the first chord slurs into the next, which LilyPond handles fine. This second chord then ties to another identical chord. However, the top note of this chord breaks off into a second voice (where the bottom notes of the chord are quavers (eighth notes), this note is a crotchet (quarter note)). No matter what I try, I cannot get LilyPond to tie from the first chord to the second, which is actually broken across two voices. How should I be doing this? Here's the code in question: <e, b' d>8.-> <e~ a~ c~>16 << {c'4~ c4.} \\ {<e, a>8 <e a>8~ <e a>8. <e a>16} >> r8 d32( c32 bf32 a32 | bf2->)~ As you can see, I've added ties to each note in the chord. Previously, I've tried tying the whole chord (<a a c>16~...); this also didn't work. The other problem I have with this is that LilyPond insists on adding an additional 'r8' after the polyphony. I have no idea how it's adding together note values for these two bars! Please help me, -- Alex Melhuish ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
