Re: switching stem direction within voice to avoid collisions

[bart deruyter]

thanks for the quick solution.

I've adapted the example of Pierre, to a score without the use of contexts and omitted assigning a voice to the 'voiceTwo' part. That made it possible for the 'mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn' to show the half-note. Using contexts lilypond threw an error when not assigning that voice.

I don't know if it's good practice, but it works... 

thanks again :-)

grtz,

Bart

I'm typesetting something from Heinrich Albert and one exercise has three voices. To avoid collisions, they switch the direction of the stems within one voice and I haven't found how to achieve it.

The voices have their own stem directions, of course. You can disable this and allow stems to go either way with \stemNeutral - but that probably won't help you here. Otherwise you can use \stemDown and \stemUp directly. Will those work for you?
