need to set the voice for the upper staff at all, and the rests appear
centred.
That doesn't tie from the octave E's in the top staff (end of m1) over to
the octave E's in the bottom staff (beginning of m2). This is
specifically the (now nonexistent) tie that I'm asking about.
I had used the voice in the hopes that keeping the notes "officially" in
the same staff would make it possible to have the ties. But that didn't
work either, so you're right, simplifying and taking out the cruft is
better, as below.
Oh - I see. I'd realised they were both treble clef, but I'm so used to
treble/bass that the possibility of cross-staff ties hadn't occurred to
me. I know Lily does cross-staff ties - and often rather nice ones -
anyone know if cross-staff ties are possible?
