Kevin,
If you want the heads to merge, they need to be at the same time step.
I think you are misinterpreting the original music. The original music has
two downstemmed notes (b natural sixteenth plus b natural eighth) at the
same time as one upstemmed note (b dotted eighth).
To get the output in the image, just do this:
\version "2.20.0"
\language "english"
\layout {
\autoBeamOff
}
global = {
\key ef \major
\time 4/4
}
melody = {
\relative {
\global
<<
{ \voiceOne b'8. }
\new Voice
{ \voiceTwo b16 b8 }
>>
\oneVoice
a8 b8 c4 r8 d8
}
}
\score {
\new Staff { \melody }
}
HOpe this helps,
Carl
