You could either use temporary polyphony, possibly with making second voice smaller \new Staff { \time 2/4 f'8 a' << { \voiceOne g'4 } \new CueVoice { \voiceTwo g'8 8 } >> } or a dashed tie \new Staff { \time 2/4 f'8 a' \tieDashed g'8 ~ 8 } Personally i prefer the second solution, especially that it's easier to get lyrics to work with it. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
