Re: Problems adding voice with rests

[Christian Masser]

Hi Peter!

It seems that the invisible e you add for the ending of the bow is drawn as a note facing the left side (you can unhide it) which explains the right-shift of the e2.

If you rearrange it to:

  <<
    \relative {
      b,4.~( 8 c e  <b~ e,>4.  4 b,8 |
      <e) e,>2. s2.
    }
    \\
    \relative
    {
      e,2.~ 4.~ 4 s8 |
      f'4.\rest
    }
  >>

this interestingly also seems to solve the other problem.

All the best

Christian

I'm trying to set this piece of slightly strange voice writing (see attachment).

It obviously needs three voices: one for the lower line (voice 2), one for the upper line (voice 1) and a third for the rest at the end.

The closest I've got is below, but this has two problems with the final beat:

1 - The bass octave is shifted right.
2 - The rest and its dot are separated.

Playing about with \shiftOff and changing or omitting \VoiceOne have no effect. Obviously I'm doing something stupid but can't work out what it is.

Incidentally, neither the Learning nor Notation manuals say how to cancel a \hide instruction. I'm a bit surprised to find that there isn't an \unhide command!

\version "2.19.83"

\language "english"

{
  \time 12/8
  \clef "bass"
  <<
   
    \relative {
      b,4.~( 8 c e  <b~ e,>4.  4 b,8 |
      <<
        \hideNotes e4.)
        \new Voice {
          \voiceOne
          \absolute f4.\rest
        }
      >>
    }
    \\
    \relative
    {
      e,2.~ \hide Stem 4.~ 4 \revert Voice.Stem.transparent s8 |
      <e e,>2. s2.
    }
  >>
}
