How can we obtain ties across voices in parallel music?

[Jacques Menu]

Hello folks,

I’d like to obtain the tie between the cis’s in beat 1 and 2 in the attached, from a version of BWV 508 (3/4).

The best I could find is:

%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

{

\clef "treble" \key b \major \time 3/4

 

…

\tieDown

<cis ~ ais fis>4 )

<<

  {fis8 --}

  {\hideNotes cis8 \unHideNotes}

>>

fis8 ( [ ais fis ] |

}

%%%%%%%%%

Problem: \hideNotes applies to fis8 too, leading to the following, in which the tie applies to ais’s and not cis’s by the way:

Thanks for your help!

JM
