Hello:

 

Thank you to Stanton Sanderson, David Kastrup, and Andrew Bernard for offering 
solutions.

 

I never did figure out the solution to the original issue of the stem not 
appearing, but I have some solutions.

 

If someone wants to get experience with using voices, shifting, and aligning 
them, engraving one of Mendelssohn’s organ sonatas in a great teaching 
exercise. I have encountered and learned to resolve so many issues.

Here is another (perhaps less elegant) solution:

rh = \relative c'' {
     <<
           \voiceOne
           {
                 c2.~ | \stemDown \shiftOnn  c
           }
           \\
           \new Voice {
                 \voiceTwo
                 s2. | \shiftOnn af2 s4
           }
           \\
           \new Voice {
                 \voiceFour
                 <bf! g ef>4 af g~ | g f ef |
           }



 

}


The usual voice orders from top to bottom are
1 3 5 6 4 2

namely starting with the outer voices and progressing inwards.  That
makes \\ become increasingly awkward as you go beyond two voices.

It would have been saner to let \\ follow that convention, but changing
that now would make all heck break loose.

David and Andrew-

 

Thank you for the reminders. Usually my coding barely scratches the surface of 
Lilypond’s capabilities, so the fact that the result appeared correct was my 
motivation for submitting the “solution.” I realize that unorthodox coding 
could produce unexpected results with future versions of Lilypond. 

 

Again, thank you for your comments. There is much to learn!

 

Stan
