\fixed absolute octave entry without brackets

Few months ago I switched from relative to absolute octave entry. In the rare cases I need to write very high or very low octave notes and consequently I need to write too much single quote ( ' ) or comma ( , ) I use the "\fixed" function that I just discovered (before I was using "\transpose")

Re: Is there a short way of forcing a particular octave?

Ciao Peter, I know this is a totally different story but I suggest also to give a try to avoid the "\relative" and to use absolute octave entry. It takes some weeks to get used but in my opinion it is more easy to manage code in this way. IMHO "\relative" is too much prone to annoying mistakes

I'm typesetting some complex polyphonic music, and have 3 Voices sharing the same Staff. In the middle of the bar, the top two Voices share the same rhythm, so I'd like to combine stems beams on them just for 2 beats, and have them be treated independently again afterwards. There is a 3rd Voice on
