Re: Ties between voices

[William Rehwinkel]

Hey Andrew, this might not help but did you try the technique in this 
snippet? 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-03/msg00663.html

Just found this while looking around for people discussing slurs across 
voices previously.


(pasted from url incase website is dead)

%%%% Snippet

\version "2.15.33" % also works with 2.23.10

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \time 2/4
    <<
      \new Voice {
        \relative c'' {
          \voiceOne
          d16( c8. a16( g8.
        }
      }
      \new Voice {
        \relative c'' {
          \voiceTwo
          g8 g') c,,8 c'8)
        }
      }
    >>
  }
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Voice
      \remove "Slur_engraver"
      \remove "Slur_performer"
    }
    \context {
      \Staff
      \consists "Slur_engraver"
      \consists "Slur_performer"
    }
  }
}
