Hi!
I'm trying to set selection from Saint-Saën's Oratorio de Noël for
my choir.
In the Gloria in altissimis (p9 in the IMSLP PDFs), I found an odd
combination of ties:
\relative c''' {
<< { s1 | b1 ~ | b2 cis } \\
{ a1 ~ | a2 s2 | s1 } \\
{ \voiceTwo r2 a, ~ | a <g' g,>4 <fis fis,> | <g g,>1 }
>>
}
This peculiar mess is almost right; I just need to figure out how to
keep the b and a on the first beat of the second measure from
colliding -- but no combination of \shiftOxxx and \once \override
NoteColumn.force-hshift that I've tried has answered the case.
Leaving the \voiceTwo command out prevents the collision -- but at
the cost of getting many other things wrong.
To match the 19th-century original, the b should be shifted a
notehead's width right.
Help?
Thanks!
Fred
Fred,
I couldn't find this on pg 9, at least on in the Gloria in altissimis
section which looked like it was on page 8, and the part that did look
like this didn't have the lower notes in it. Did you add those?
If you absolutely MUST do this, then here's a solution to get you by,
using only two EXPLICIT voices, but with some less-desirable overrides:
\relative c''' {
<<
{
\once \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
a1 |
\voiceOne
b1 ~ |
b2 cis |
\oneVoice
}
\new Voice \relative c''' {
\voiceTwo
\set tieWaitForNote = ##t
\once \hideNotes a2 ~ a, ~ |
<a a'>2 <g g'>4 <fis fis'> |
<g g'>1
\set tieWaitForNote = ##f
}
>>
}
If you don't need the lower octave notes (like it is in the piano
reduction), then it gets WAY easier to notate without any fancy
footwork:
\relative c''' {
<<
{
\voiceOne
s1 |
b1 ~ |
b2 cis |
\oneVoice
}
\new Voice \relative c''' {
\voiceTwo
a1 ~ |
a2 g4 fis |
g1
}
>>
}
HTH,
Abraham
