Thanks to all for your quick help! I adjusted the voices so that the E naturals I intend to tie are in the same lilypond voice. The tie now renders and correct notation results _however_ the problem I have now, is that direction of the stems that lilypond has chosen for each voice is _not_ the direction I wish.
How does one override lilypond's stem directions for a particular note or voice. Also, though tie renders in the attached image, but I prefer the curve of the tie _below_ the E naturals, not _above_ as in the attached image. Is there a way to force in which direction the "tie is written"? Thanks again! \version "2.12.3" \include "english.ly" \score { << \new Staff = "guitar" { \clef "treble_8" \time 4/4 % guitar m01 << { s2. g'8. [e,16~] } \\ { r2. f8 [b8] } >> % guitar m02 << { e,1} \\ { <fs f' a'>4. <g' bf'>8 <g' b'>8 <bf a' cs''>4. } \\ { s2 g'16 [gs16] s4 } >> } >> }
