Note that this already is described fairly clearly both in
"Basic Polyphony" and "Explicitly Instantiating Voices".
However, if you have any idea on how to make it even
clearer/easier to find, then they are off course welcome.

Hi Kieren,
thank you very much vor answer. Your snippet solved the problem and
btw. it
makes completely sense. Should really be better integrated into the
documentation.
Greetings,

Hi, Rainer:
I've following code:
<c d g>1\arpeggio ~ | << <c d g>1\fermata \\ {r2 r4 b'32 (c d e f g
a b)} >>
According to the documentation the two "<c d g>" should be tied.
Unfortunately this is not the case. Could you help me please?
Well, you've run into a subtlety of Lilypond that could, perhaps, be
better documented... ;-)
Consider the following code snippet:
%%% BEGIN SNIPPET %%%
\version "2.9.17"
\paper
{
indent = 0\in
line-width = 3\in
}
theMusic = \relative c'
{
<c d g>1 ~ | << <c d g>1\fermata \\ { s2 c4 c } >> \break
<c d g>1 ~ | << { <c d g>1\fermata } \new Voice { s2 c4 c } >>
}
\score
{
\theMusic
}
%%% END SNIPPET %%%
Notice that the tie does not work "as expected" in the first example,
but does in the second.
This is because, in the first example, the << \\ >> construct
explicitly instantiates TWO voices, BOTH of which are in addition to
the one which contains the <c d g> that starts the tie -- as a
result, the tie doesn't know where to end, because its Voice doesn't
continue on into the <<>> block.
In the second example, the \\ is replaced by an explicit (manual)
instantiation using \new Voice -- this ensures that anything before
the \new Voice command is considered part of the Voice that existed
before the <<>> block began, and so the tie knows where to terminate.
Does that make sense?
Or, at the very least, does it explain why you're seeing what you're
seeing? =)
Best regards,
Kieren.
