Re: how to split into two parts

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Hans,

sorry, it was a mistake of mine.

I should have written

flA = { \global \extractNote #2 \flutes }
flB = { \global  \extractNote #1 \flutes }

My idea is: if there are 2 pitches at once, they shall be splitted (this works fine), if there is only one sinle, it should be only in the first flute and there should be a rest in the second one.

Best,

Stefan

Didn't know about the chordsAndVoices, but I do spot that you both times "\extractNote #2" - which to me seems to instruct to extract the second note of the chord.

I expect
flB = { \global \extractNote #1 \flutes }

to yield you the result you're after
