Hi Erik,
Why doesn't the first bar tie to the second?
Because there are three different Voice contexts involved here... be sure to read the documentation, especially <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/Multiple- voices#Multiple-voices>
But you don't even need that much explanation — you simply need to put the first chord of the tied set outside the <<>>, e.g.
mus = \relative c { \autoBeamOff \key d \major \time 3/4 \clef bass << { <d a' d>2 } \\ { d,2 } >> <d d'>4 ~ | <d d'>2. | } \score { \mus } Hope this helps, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
