Hi Josh,

Essentially, lilypond does not do ties or slurs across voices. [As an
aside, this is a source of frustration for all [to be precise, it drives me
nuts! :-)], and some wonderful news is that we have a Google Summer of Code
scholar working on this very topic.]

So, there are several ways to do this in general. In the case of your
attached image, simply use voices to represent the chords, and the problem
dissolves. Note that i you do this you may have to shift note columns here
and there (\shiftOff in the example).

You can do tricks with hidden notes and so in, but as long as you have the
underlying understanding that you either work in the same voice for ties or
need to use some hideen note tricks, you should be fine.

I've run into the need to do this, and I can't quite figure out how to make
it happen. Please see the attached image.

Basically, for those who can't load it, I want to create a tie from a
"chord" into a "new voice." It's fairly common in classical literature, but
I am wondering if this is possible even, or yet.

Thanks!

​Sincerely,

Josh
