Hi!
I'm trying to set selection from Saint-Saën's Oratorio de Noël for my
choir.
In the Gloria in altissimis (p9 in the IMSLP PDFs), I found an odd
combination of ties:
\relative c'''
{
<< {
s1 | b1
~
| b2 cis } \\
{
a1 ~ | a2
s2
| s1 } \\
{
\voiceTwo r2 a, ~ | a <g' g,>4 <fis fis,> | <g g,>1
}
>>
}
This peculiar mess is almost right; I just need to figure out how to keep
the b and a on the first beat of the second measure from colliding -- but no
combination of \shiftOxxx and \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift that
I've tried has answered the case. Leaving the \voiceTwo command out prevents
the collision -- but at the cost of getting many other things
wrong.
To match the 19th-century original, the b should be shifted a notehead's
width right.
Help?
Thanks!
Fred
