Re: Slur in different voices

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

Hi Mark!

Generally I work around this using hidden notes or notes with hidden stems. In 
your example I think you want a tie rather than a slur (since it’s a held 
note), but they both work in the same way with regard to voices. 

In your example it could look like:

\version "2.22"

lowerA = \new Voice \relative c'
{ \voiceOne
 s2 \once \hideNotes b2~ | b2 f2\rest |
}

lowerB = \new Voice \relative c
{ \voiceTwo
 f2\rest b2 | c,2 s2 |
}

     \new Staff <<
        \clef bass
        \lowerA
        \lowerB
 >>

Best
