Re: Tieing into two voices

[Sebastian Menge]

Thanks Paul that works. However, there are warnings.

Now I found the documentation (Instantiating voices explicitely), but still I find it difficult to typeset something like this

It gives me a headache :-)

Is it possible to reference the actual voices by name during "tieing"?

For example take the third measure in the example above. The gis comes from the measures before, but the b continues to the following measures.

Instead you can write <<  ||  \new Voice {  } >> like this:

\score { 

   \relative { g2 ~ << g2 || \new Voice {\stemUp c8 d e f}  >> }

  \layout { }

where the first part of the parallel construction continues the external voice so that ties and slurs can cross into it.

Subject: Tieing into two voices

Hi

I would like to tie a note into a short polyphon section

\score {
   \relative { g2 ~ << g2 \\ {\stemUp c8 d e f}  >> }
  \layout { }
}

But that gives a warning and no tie. (It is intended to have two half notes tied)

I could extend the polyphony and use silence but that doesn't seem right and would clutter the source.

Actually the one voice continues and just for some bars/beats another voice sits on top.

How can I realize that?

Thanks, Sebastian.
