Re: voice sharing the same note on different staves

[Ken]

Thanks!   I had given up since my permutations did not work the first time, but since you so succintly repeated it, I thought I might have missed something so I went back and tried it again.

Yes, \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn works as you've described.  The trick is you do need the \change Staff and a \stemUp or Down depending.  The note heads don't merge on different staves.  Obviously...

Hi,

I tried looking in archives for a solution to my problem but I'm not sure quite how to put in a search description.

I'm writing a 3-part piece for the piano.  3 voices.  In one measure, I have the second and third (voiceFour in lliypond because the stems are down) share the same note.  The second voice is a 16th note while the third voice is a dotted quarter.  I'd like to have the note in the bass stave and have 2 stems, one up and one down.  The up one is beamed with the rest of the notes of the second voice.  How do I do this?

Use \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn and \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn. Look up "collision resolution" in s.1.5.2 of the notation reference.

Nick
