Ken,

Can you provide a small, working example of your code?

Hi;

  I'm still learning how to use Lilypond.

I'm using version 2.20.0

  I have an example of some piano music which I am trying to engrave with 
Lilypond that has chords in the left hand which are tied, but the tie fails.  I 
have a 4/4 time signature. The pattern is a whole note tied to half note, both 
are the same triad. Do I have to separate the triad into different voices to 
get the chord to become a tie?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
