Hi Urs. In your example, if you lay the second version out as if the notes had twice the durations they actually have, then it looks nice: \version "16.0" firstVersion =\relative e'' {e2. e4 | g2. cis,4 |} secondVersion =\scaleDurations #'(2 . 1)\relative e'' {e4~ e16[ fis] e[ fis] g4. cis,8 |} \score{ << \new Staff \firstVersion \new Staff \secondVersion >>} (Note that I have corrected the beaming in the second version.) That produces a nice result for your example. Is it what you want? For other examples this method might be unsatisfactory. If you need to try a different method, you might like to try spacer rests ( s4 etc). > Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:51:55 +0200 > From: Urs Liska <u...@openlilylib.org> > To: LilyPond Users <lilypond-user@gnu.org> > Subject: Synchronize music of different length > Message-ID: <51d58c0b.7010...@openlilylib.org> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed > > Hi all, > > what would be an elegant way to synchronize a passage of music that is > of different length in two staves? > > I need to make an example where the composer made a second version that > compressed two bars into one.
