Why does the tie between the two low E naturals that I have
indicated in the snippet below not appear in the notation?

Thanks.


\version "2.12.3"
\include "english.ly"

\score {

<<
   \new Staff = "guitar"
   {
     \clef "treble_8"
     \time 4/4

     % guitar m01
     <<

Are you trying to tie the e,16 in guitar m01 to the e,1 in guitar m02?  You have created a section of music covering 3 beats and having 2 voices, then a separate section of music with 4 beats of time and 3 voices.   Effectively, your parallel music, inside the << . . \\ . . .>> sections, creates separate voices for each side of the \\ , but they aren't known outside the << . . .>> limits. Because each section is enclosed in << ... >>, lilypond has no way of knowing you wanted the E tied.  In other words, you seem to be asking to tie the e,16 from the second voice of section one to the e,1 in third voice of section two, but lilypond no longer knows about the first e, as the voice which owned it no longer exists.

I hope that gives you something to work with, Ivan!
