Re: Dotted half note showing as half note followed by a colon

[Knute Snortum]

Well, I get warning with the example you posted.  You basically have two voices trying to put rests and notes in the same place.  This is what I would do:

\version "2.18.0"

Aa = \relative b' {

\oneVoice r2 r4

\voiceOne b b2.

\oneVoice r4

}

Ab = \relative b' {

s2 s4 a b2. s4

}

\score {

\new Staff {

<< \new Voice { \voiceOne \Aa }

\new Voice { \voiceTwo \Ab }

>> }

\layout { }

}

In setting a piece where two instruments are sharing a staff, I encountered a dotted half note which was shown as a half note followed by a colon rather than by a dot.  The following illustrates the problem:

\version "2.18.0"

Aa = \relative b' {
        \oneVoice r2 r4 \voiceOne b
        \oneVoice b2. r4
}

Ab = \relative b' {
        \oneVoice r2 r4 \voiceTwo a
        \oneVoice b2. r4
}

\score {
        \new Staff {
                        << \new Voice  { \voiceOne \Aa }
                           \new Voice  { \voiceTwo \Ab }
                        >> }
        \layout {  }
}

A similar problem is noted with the following snippet:

\new Voice <<
        { r2 r4 b' b'2. r4 }
        { r2 r4 a' b'2. r4 }
>>

Am I doing something wrong here?  I get several warning messages, but except for the offending dotted half note, the pdf file looks good.
