Brilliant! That worked perfectly. Within the main voice, I switched back and forth between \voiceOne and \oneVoice at each rest. A bit cumbersome if there are a lot of rests, but it works. Thanks for the help. I apologise for posting my question to the wrong place. I don't know whether this c

Hi, I think this question should be posted on the lilypond user list. One trick I use to achieve that is by using \voiceOne and \oneVoice and use skips on the other voice instead of rests. \voiceOne and \voiceTwo instruct lily to display two separate voices for your soprano and altomelody. \oneVoi

What version of the program have you installed? I guess that you have installed version 2.2.5 on Cygwin, but maybe you have installed version 2.4.x on Fedora. Since the syntax has changed a bit between the two versions, you cannot use the same version of test.ly. Always read the documentation corre

You may have to rerun setup.exe and also install the package tetex-base (and possibly tetex-extra). The TeX distribution that's installed by default with LilyPond is stripped down to a minimum, so that's probably why the commands don't work directly. /Mats Thomas Scharkowski wrote: Hello, Ketils
