Roland,
I have set several of the Bach Fugues. Attached (and below) is the template I
use. It is for four voices.

Subject: New User: How can one separate voice share different clefs in a piano
fugue?
INTRO
A big "Hello" to this list!
I am new to Lilypond and worked through the intro documentation. My name is
Roland Hüttmann from Switzerland. I am an amateur piano player for almost all
genres, but mainly classical music, currently learning the Prelude and Fugue IX
of the Well Tempered Clavier Nr. 1 from J.S.Bach, (BWV 584).
In coding I have quite some experience mainly working with the free community
edition of Livecode.com which I very much enjoy this language and believe it
can be used in conjunction with Lilypond as it's text processing capabilities
are probably the best in the market and it is very easy to learn.
My teachers in piano are concert pianists (Denis Zhdanov and Elina Akselrud,
both Lucerne, Switzerland). My aim here is mainly write educational scores
based on such teaching for beginners and advanced students of piano, but maybe
also assist in writing newly composed music.
BEGINNER'S QUESTIONS
I started to encode the Bach's Fugue Nr. IX in Lilypond. I stumbled over a
problem which I could not yet (as a beginner) solve. The music is polyphonic
with three distinct voices. There is a bass voice, a soprano voice and an alt
voice. The alt voice uses both clefs in the piano notation: Tremble (G) and
bass (F).
1. Do I have enter two voices for the tremble clef and two voices to the bass
clef since this alt voice is representedi n both clefs? I would prefer to not
having to do this to make the alt separate. It just shares both clefs.
2. At three occasions, the alt voice crosses both clefs in the middle and the
beam connecting the pitches of this voice must be beween both clefs or also
cross the clefs.
3. Besides coloring the different voices for better readability, I also want to
indicate fingering for each vfoice -- which changes for each voice between left
and right hand. How can I indicate which hand to use when a fingering number is
assigned? Here, this is quite important as it is not always obvious. I want to
either use an indication such as RH or LH (right or left hand), or a certain
style or color for the fingering.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Have fun and enjoy music
Roland
