Quoting "Rick Hansen (aka RickH)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Yes this has been a problem I've had too, it would be nice if one can use the
same notes/voices on both the staff and tabstaff, without duplicating the
work.

Hiya. Lilypond newbie here - so I'm probably mangling the terminology...
I am trying to re-use the same (polyphonic, separated by \\) notes for
both a regular staff and a tablature staff, but the tablature and \\
don't seem to be playing nice, so instead of typing out the notes just
once in a macro and invoking it twice, I have to re-jig the two voices
as a single-voiced chords in the tablature version, ending up with an
inelegant duplication of effort.
Picture of what I want to achieve:

What I'm doing:
----------------------------------
{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\key d \major
\clef "G_8"
<<
{
fis'8 a d' fis'
e' fis ais <cis' e'>
} \\
{
d2 cis
}
>>
}
\new TabStaff {
\override TabStaff.Stem #'transparent = ##t
\override TabStaff.Beam #'transparent = ##t
<fis' d>8 a d' fis'
<e' cis> fis ais <cis' e'>
}
}
----------------------------------
What doesn't work
----------------------------------
notes = <<
{
fis'8 a d' fis'
e' fis ais <cis' e'>
} \\
{
d2 cis
}
>>
{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\key d \major
\clef "G_8"
\notes
}
\new TabStaff {
\override TabStaff.Stem #'transparent = ##t
\override TabStaff.Beam #'transparent = ##t
\notes
}
}
----------------------------------
Trying the second way, I get an empty TAB staff and doubled notes on
the regular staff. If I take out the \overrides (even though I really
want to hide the stems and beams), then I get four staves, of which
the second one (TAB) is empty.
Cutting out the << \\ >> "works", in that I get the same notes exactly
once on each clef, but that isn't the music I want to write. :-)
I was just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or whether what I
want to do is just not easy? I am on version 2.6.3, if that matters,
since that's what my distro gave me...
thanks,
Nigel.
