Hello Jean-Julien,

Thanks for the tip. Yes, in the Introduction to Lily, they introduce chords 
with <<>> and later they say, you only need <> but without much explanation.
It works indeed (the same system of voices as with Finale and possibly Muscore 
if I remember correctly).
The last detail is that sometimes, the shorter notes are not completed by rests 
(string instruments) but I sort of remember to have seen that rests could be 
masked, possibly the answer. 😄
