If it is just these two notes, ledger lines would be appropriate. If the section extending into the bass register goes much lower or exists for a longer period of time, either changing clefs, or moving the notes into the left hand staff would be appropriate. \version "2.12.3" \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = RH \relative c' { d4 c a b c d f e \break d c \clef bass a b g f d e \break \change Staff = LH \voiceOne d'4 c a b g f c d } \new Staff = LH \relative c { \clef bass f1 e \break f1 c \break f1 \voiceTwo e2 a, } >> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
