Hello: Scarlatti "looks" simple but of course is not. I'm using a Longo edition to create a basic score which I will edit (hopefully) from the Kirkpatrick facsimile into a performing edition.
I have this specific problem for the moment which wil lead to another question about schemes. ----------- Sscoe Snip ---------- \version 2.11.27 \include "english.ly" Sonata_Emajor_K530.ly \version "2.10.25" upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key e \major \time 3/4 e b fs r4 r8 \bar "||" % Bar 20 \key e \minor r8 b''8 \grace a16 g8 fs e d | % Bar 21 \override Staff.NoteCollision # merge-differently-dotted = ##t << { c,2 \stemUp a'4 | } >> \\ % bar 22 \grace b16 c2. | } lower = \relative c { \clef bass \key e \major \time 3/4 r4 r8 e' b fs \bar "||" % Bar 20 \key e \minor e4 r4 r | % Bar 21 r8 a''8 fs8 ds cs b | % Bar 22 } \score { \new PianoStaff << \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano " \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> \layout { } \midi { } } ------------------ end Score ------------- This renders, but not as it is supposed to. The right hand should have a second voice joining and the dotted half c and half note c should be the same note with stems going both up and down. Instead it renders as if it were new bars of consecutive score, I also get this Guile error: error: --------- snip ----- GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here \override Staff.NoteCollision # merge-differently-dotted = ##t Unbound variable: merge-differently-dotted ----- snip ---- The line breeaks in the error are as they appear when I invoke lilypond in the shell. First, I think I do no quite undersand the override and collision and Second, have I added the new polyphonic voice correctly? Do I need to put something in the scheme definitions about these new polyphonic bits? The occur with regularity in this peice but are transitory in nature. They last a few measures then the voice simply disappears as is not uncommon in piano scores. Cheers, David -- David Fedoruk B.Mus.
