Hi, a "notational correctness" question rather than a lilypond technical question, hope that's okay.
A student brought in some work today, some of which calls for three voices in the right hand of a PianoStaff. Minus expressive marks, the lilypond example below gets the point across, but I wonder if there's a better way? The collision at the beginning of bar 2, between the a4~ a2 tie and the c# in voice 1, seems inevitable but it isn't pretty. (\tieDown looks even worse.) So, those of you with a notation reference or two in your library, how would you handle this? Thanks! James PS Sorry for the non-tiny example. In this case, the voicing is complex enough that I wanted to be explicit about all the new voices. \version "2.14.2" \include "english.ly" \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { \key d \major \numericTimeSignature << \new Voice \relative c'' { \voiceOne r2 r8 cs?4.~ cs2 } \new Voice \relative c'' { \voiceTwo a16 fs e fs \repeat tremolo 2 { e fs } \repeat tremolo 2 { e fs } a16 fs e fs \repeat tremolo 4 { e fs } } \new Voice \relative c'' { \voiceThree a2. a4~ a2 } >> r2 } \new Staff { \key d \major \clef bass \numericTimeSignature << \new Voice \relative c' { \voiceOne g16 b c b \repeat tremolo 2 { c b } \repeat tremolo 2 { c b } g16 b c b \repeat tremolo 4 { c b } } \new Voice \relative c' { \voiceTwo g2.\sustainOn g4~\sustainOn g2 } >> r2\sustainOff } >> } -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
