Hi Petr, In the following example I need all the stems to be up. <<{c1} \\ {c8 f a d e d a f}>> By putting them in the order you have, Lilypond automatically assigns the second part to the second (lower) voice -- instead, try << {c8 f a d e d a f} \\ {c1} >> Hope this helps! Kieren. __

Does your error relate to this bug? http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=558 The issue occurred when the end of a dynamic spanner (\!) happened on a multimeasure rest on the following line of music, but it looks like it has been resolved for the next development release. Andrew On

Poifect! Just removed the \once and changed ragged-right to #f and it was exactly like I wanted. I probably spent 2 1/2 hours tweaking the looks of the psalm last night padding with s's (and trying a few other workarounds). This will save me hours and hours of Lenten drudgery, LOL. Thank you so
