Re: shared notes across piano staff

[Paolo Prete]

Hi,

instead of going crazy using LilyPond's native functions for
cross-staff, try using this, which supports exactly what you need:

https://github.com/paopre/Spontini/blob/master/documentation/tabular.md

Here’s the code that generates your complete music fragment:

<<

\easyCrossStaff %TMODE
  { | \hiddenTuplet 3/2 { s8                  | s  | s  | s  | s | s
| s  | s   | s   | s | s  | s  | bes[ | s |  s  | a[ | s | s }    | }
  { | \clef bass \hiddenTuplet 3/2 { c'8\rest | e[ | a] | c[ | e | a]
| d[ | aes | b!] | r | c[ | g] | s    | d |  g] | s  | d | fis] } | }
#'( | C                                       | -  | -  | -  | - | -
| -  | -   | -   | - | -  | -  | -    | - |  -  | -  | - | -      | )

\crossStaffTableVoice "upper"
{  e'4 c' d'~d'8[ c'] bes4 a }

\crossStaffTableVoice "lower"
{ \stemDown fis,2 }

\crossStaffTableVoice "lower"
{ \stemDown d4\rest c <f,! d> e, d,2}

>>

As you can see, it’s abbreviated, formatted (look at it with monospace
font) and made much simpler to edit and more readable compared to
native LilyPond (when you try completing the example using the other
voices on the lower staff, you’ll notice this even more).
Not only that: you will later have to modify the inclination of the
beams and the slurs. And even this will be strongly simplified for you
with the editor (please read the documentation).
