Hmm, no that didn't solve it at all... anyway, I'm too tired to debug this now... So, this Devnull trick still doesn't work when the target voice contains ties.Regards,  Erlend On 6/1/06, Erlend Aasland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Never mind, I solved it by using \new Devnull { \new Voice="foo" \kee

Neat trick! I've added it to the manual. An example without tags might be useful to help explain it (although in practice this trick is probably better with tags); people interested in vocal music are invited to improve this section. :) Cheers, - Graham On 28-May-06, at 3:38 PM, Erik Sandb
