Subject: Overlapping ties in different voices
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,
If you define the voices as \voiceOne, \voiceFour and \voiceTwo that should
work without the need for overrides.
Hope that helps,
Phil.
