Thank you for the response. I tried this and as you would expect, the notes now were tied together, butI ran into other difficulties that I could not find a solution for.
Adding a hidden note extends the measure by the note length and the \break does not work anymore. I tried \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff, but still no line break. Then I tried a temporary 5/4 timing but this made a couple of other side effects that I could not get rid of. Then I tried to not add a hidden note but adding a note like this: "c2*0" (what is this construction called?). But now, I get a warning from voiceOne "Too many clashing note columns", and the tie in voiceOne does not appear . The tie in voiceTwo (same timing as voiceOne) appears correctly without producing any warning. Now finally I used slurs instead of ties, and this works in both voices without warnings, at least optically (but to be honest, I dont' understand at all WHY it works :-) BTW all these workarounds make the lyrics get out of sync, which must be fixed by adding an extra "_" to the lyrics. And it seems that the note value in "c2*0" overrides the note value of the next note that I want to get tied (in my case, the next note is a half note). If I say for example "c4*0", this overrides the tied half note in the next measure into a quarter note, but the measures still calculate correctly. Very curious! Cheers :-) Juergen Rather than moving the Tie_engraver you could try inserting hidden notes (\hideNotes) in the same voice context and tie-ing to them.
