inputting with explicit voices

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Hello!

 

When inputting code for polyphony, e.g. a fugue, using  explicit voices (<< \new voice { voiceOne … } \new voice { voiceTwo } >> ), the first note of voiceTwo is placed, octave wise, in relation to the last note set in voiceOne. As the last note entered in voiceOne changes octave, all of voiceTwo moves up or down. The only way I could find to avoid this was to set all of voiceOne and then set voiceTwo.

 

Does an alternative exist?

 

Thank you for your kind attention.
