I am still relatively new to lilypond. I have a simple four voice choral attached.
(1) This example produces numerous warnings about clashing notes which look like: choral-beethoven-moonlight-01-simple.ly:16:62: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns e'2 e'2 e'2 fs'2 fs'2 e'2 ds'!2 ds' cs' Why is this happening? (2) Also, this example fails to produce a midi file. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? (3) As far as the structure of my file: \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "up" { << \new Voice = "up" { } \new Voice = "up" { } >> } \new Staff = "down" { << \new Voice { } \new Voice { } >> } >> } Is this considered an example of "best practice", or how might others structure a four voice choral. (4) Finally, at the beginning of the four measure in the soprano and alto, the d# and c# collide. I would have thought lilypond would have taken care of this. What do I need to do to fix this? Thank you very much for your time and patience. \version "2.16.0" \include "english.ly" \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "up" { \clef "treble" \time 4/4 \key cs \minor << \new Voice = "up" { e'2 e'2 e'2 fs'2 fs'2 e'2 ds'!2 ds' cs' } \new Voice = "up" { cs'2 cs'2 cs'2 d'2 bs2 cs'2 cs'2 bs2 gs2 } >> } \new Staff = "down" { \clef "bass" \time 4/4 \key cs \minor << \new Voice { \stemUp gs2 gs2 a2 a2 gs2 gs2 gs2 fs2 e2 } \new Voice { cs2 b,2 a,2 fs,2 gs,2 gs,2 gs,2 gs,2 cs2 } >> } >> } \layout { \context { \Score \override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8) } } \midi { \context { \Score tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 72 4) } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
