Thanks, you were right. There was an unterminated Slur.outside-staff-priority
override that was causing the problem. This snippet displays the flying beam:
\version "2.24.1"
top = { \change Staff = "upper" \voiceTwo }
bottom = { \change Staff = "lower" \voiceOne }
upper = \relative c'' {
\override Slur.outside-staff-priority = #300
\time 2/2
\key c \major
\voiceOne
r8 bes'\mf( a gis a ees d cis |
d bes a gis a ees d cis |
d) bes'\dim( a\! gis a ees d cis |
d[ \bottom bes a gis] a[ ees d)] r8 |
\top
\oneVoice
r8\p
}
lower = \relative c' {
\clef bass
a4 r8 \top bes'( a gis a ees |
d cis d \bottom \voiceTwo bes a gis a ees |
d cis d bes' a gis a ees |
d cis d bes a gis a cis |
\oneVoice
fis,4)
}
\score {
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\consists Merge_rests_engraver
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #11
\override TextScript.avoid-slur = #'outside
\override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##f
}
}
\new PianoStaff {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
}
}
